🌍 Happy Earth Day!
On Monday, our fourth graders welcomed a visit from the University of Illinois Extension, diving into the story behind Earth Day, learning how small actions can make a big difference, and exploring the role animals play in our environment. Students also created “Circle of Earth” bracelets, using beads to represent different elements of the planet—a fun reminder of how everything in nature is connected. 🌱
