Earth day is such an important “holiday” to celebrate in your classroom because it’s one that is so educational. Students need to know the impact they make on the earth and how we can all work together to take care of it. Even just ONE simple activity will make a difference. With Earth Day around the corner, I wanted to share a round-up of awesome resources you can find on TpT from some amazing teacher authors.
