Rockin' Kindergarten for over 30 years!

World in a Classroom

This week’s Tuesday Teaching Tip comes to us from the classroom of first grade teacher Anne Aranda who submitted this “World in a Classroom” idea for the Art Exhibit of our PK1 Conference.  It would make a great activity for Earth Day!  Have an art project you’d like to share?  We’d love to have it!  Check out the info on our Art Exhibit.

Looking for some music to go along with your Earth Day celebrations? Charlotte Diamond’s Listen to the Water, Raffi’s Blue White Planet and One Light, One Sun would all work well. Do you have others you’re using? We’d love to hear about them!
