Introduction
to Earth Day
In conjunction with
Earth Day on 22nd April, which is tomorrow, therefore, today we had
some discussion and brainstorming session about Earth Day. Though it might be a
little abstract for the children to understand the concept of “Earth”, however, the children tried their best to
answer with all the hints that I had given.
Teacher: The theme of Earth
Day is “Green Cities”. What makes our city green?
Children: Green house…green
car… (I guess they don’t understand what
I mean.)
So I
drew a picture of a city with buildings and houses but no trees.
Teacher:
Look at the picture. What is missing? There’s only houses and building.
Children:
The road.
Teacher:
What makes this place looks green? [Silence across the room. No one seems to
notice anything else. Suddenly……]
Thong
Xuan: Tree.
Pin
Jee: Leaf.
Teacher:
Yes, the green leaves on the tree make the city looks green. Look out of the
classroom window. Can you see the tall trees there? [The children looked out of the window for a moment and excitedly said
that they saw the trees. They said the trees are green. ]
Then
I gave a short explanation about the important of tree to us. It’s kind of
abstract again yet hopefully the children could understand it in the future.
