I have a total of 27 years teaching experience . After I received my M.Ed. from the University of Florida (hence the name "HappyEdugator"), I began teaching in elementary school, where I taught pull-out remedial classes for grades 2-5 and a section of K-1. Then I taught Pre-K for 5 years, before I went up to Middle School, where I have been in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Last year, I went back to 1st grade in a private setting. I have traveled worldwide and am also fluent in Spanish.

Earth Day Vocabulary CARDS and Activities. Print these out on cardstock, and laminate if you desire for durability. Keep the sheets intact for this LEARNING ACTIVITY: Print out 2 sets of EARTH SHEETS. Divide class into groups. Give each group an EARTH activity sheet. Each group will work together and find three (or you decide how many) facts for each square. Give them adequate time to do this. (Try out my PowerPoint timer!) Have the groups report back to the class. You can also assign the rows on the cards to different groups. OR Cut cards out for these LEARNING ACTIVITIES: 1. Pull cards out of a hat (or other container) and assign to students for research activities. 2. Attach to Popsicle sticks and have students pull one when they are finished with other work. Require them to find out five facts about the word that relates it to Earth Day. 3. Put cards inside plastic Easter eggs and have students find them. When they return, have them earn a jelly bean for every word they can define or describe what it means to the planet. You can come up with other games to use with these, too! If you blow them up to poster size, you have Earth Day word wall words, too. Enjoy! -HappyEdugator
