IB Inquiry with - IB District Coordinator Anne LaLonde Laux
Earth Day
Earth Day is ESPECIALLY important for families like yours who are part of the IB/PYP program! It's a special time when we focus on taking care of our planet, which is like a big home for all of us.
Earth Day and Week hold significant importance for IB/PYP elementary families as they align closely with the program's core values and principles of developing internationally minded learners who recognize their role in creating a better, more just, and more peaceful world.
Through Earth Day actions, we can learn the importance of taking care of the planet, fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment, and understanding the interconnectedness of all living things.
The BINGO grid below is a great way to get started TODAY!
P.S. We’d love to create an action board with photos of our students/staff/families taking action - please send a photo/photos to lalondelaux.anne@slpschools.org Please include family/student name, school, and action(s) taken in your email.
