Progress Report

Create a chart that will help youngsters keep track of the things they do for the Earth at home. Along the left side, list activities such as “separated recyclables from the trash,” “turned off water while brushing teeth,” “used both sides of paper,” etc. Include blank lines for students to write their own. Across the top, list the days of the week. Provide spaces for completed activities to be checked off daily. Send several copies of the chart, along with a “My Earth Care Calendar” 2009-2010 Coloring & Activities Book, home with each child. Ask that a chart, signed by a parent, be returned each week for a month. Enter the students who do so in drawings for Tree Planting Kits.
