Read Aloud for Earth Day
Earth Day is just around the corner and what better way to make preparations than to pick up a good book and fun activities for your class?! You’ve come to the right place if you want fun and easy at your fingertips. Start by picking up a copy of the book Earth Day by Trudi Strain Trueit. It is a great little Scholastic Read-About-the-Holidays book you and your students will enjoy.
This K-2 inspired gem has 31 pages of easy to read text and colorful photos that will give your students a basic background on the history of Earth Day. It also explains key vocabulary, such as conservation and recycling, with simple text for your emerging readers and earth conscious cuties.
