A first hand look at pollution

What is your relationship with the environment?

We went on a walk just directly outside of our school. Our main focus was to look for litter and other pollution. We took pictures of what we saw:




Grade One students are inquiring into using adjectives to define and strengthen their writing. Using the photos that they took, they went around to interview other members of the community to see what adjectives they would use to describe the environment.


Students will be using the adjectives that they acquired to write and reflect about their feelings for their immediate environment. During that process we will be looking to see if they have any ideas toward improving the situation. As we develop ideas, we will look to start a campaign and a plan of action. Look for future posts for examples of student writing.
