For my Environmental Advocacy Project, I went to Alaska Children’s Academy, my job, and did recycling activities with them. These activities included name tracings for “ R is for Recycling,” Recycle Tracings of pictures of different types of trash we can recycle, and we also made little Earths in celebration of Earth Day. Throughout the day we would tell them little facts about recycling such as, you can recycle paper and make more paper out of it.

     In order to make our little Earths, we cut up different colors of paper (specifically green, white, and blue), mixed them together in water, put flower seeds in the mixture, formed our little Earths, then put them under the sun to dry and harden. After they are hardened we will place them in dirt cups until May 6, 2022, for them to present to their mothers on May 8, 2022, which is Mother's Day. We also gave them a worksheet to show them what we can recycle in our community. This worksheet is the photo presented to the left of this text.

One thing the kids were really excited about for our earth day lesson plans was our composting project. For this project, we had sectioned our composting box into three spaces. Our first one is how an orange will decay underneath soil Our second one is how cardboard does underneath the soil, and lastly our third one shows how a plastic Easter egg does in soil. We chose the Easter egg one because we had just done our Easter egg hunt the week before our earth day week.
