Earth Day is quickly approaching. It is one of my FAVORITE days to teach about during the year. I do think it is important to talk about respecting the earth all year long, but Earth Day (or week) is just the best for all of the fun Earth Day activities! You would be surprised at how many children have not ever recognized Earth Day as a holiday.


Each year, I read a few of my favorite books about Earth Day to my students. I spread them out over the entire week. I have included a few of my favorites below! Click the images to grab them! I am a sucker for great illustrations and these are the best! I also love the message in each of these books! I wouldn't recommend them if I didn't love them.
