ESBA Flores - 6º Grado

Hola Familias!!!
                       Quería contarles que con los chicos estuvimos viendo la película "The Lorax".

                        Es una película hermosa y muy divertida con la que aprendimos la importancia de cuidar el planeta donde vivimos.
                        Luego de ver la película, leímos del libro "50 Simple Things Kids Can Do To Save The Earth" ("Las 50 cosas que los niños pueden hacer para salvar la tierra") qué cosas prácticas podemos hacer nosotros para contribuir al cuidado del medio ambiente. Las comparto con ustedes:

50 THINGS WE CAN DO TO SAVE OUR PLANET
