This year, we learned many ways to help protect our Earth! We found out that we can turn off the lights when we leave a room, use both sides of the paper, and put our trash in the right bins. We also learned how to recycle things like bottles and cans. Planting trees and taking care of plants are good for the Earth too. Every little thing we do helps our planet stay clean and happy!

In Week 4, the K2 Joy students took on a special challenge with their parents: to find and identify ways they already help protect the Earth at home, as well as think about what they could do better. Together, they explored eco-friendly habits like saving water, recycling, and turning off lights when not in use, while also discussing new ways they can improve and make a bigger difference for the planet.

"Reduce" means using less of something so we don’t waste it. For example, you can use less paper or turn off lights when you don’t need them. Reducing helps save resources and keeps the Earth healthy!

"Reuse" means using something again instead of throwing it away. For example, you can use a plastic bottle or a box for something new, instead of getting rid of it. Reusing helps keep the Earth clean!

This activity helped us reuse materials in a fun way, showing how recycling can be both entertaining and beneficial for protecting the Earth. By reusing items that would otherwise be waste, we contributed to keeping the planet cleaner and more sustainable!

After building our boats, we tested them in the water to see how well they floated. We had a lot of fun playing with them and watching our creations in action. It was a great way to enjoy our projects while also learning about the importance of recycling and protecting the environment!
