With Earth Day coming up this week, the Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes got to explore the rainforest via a wonderful storybook by Jan Brett entitled The Umbrella. In the story, Carlos takes his umbrella out on a walk. The umbrella becomes inhabited with a Spanish-speaking tree frog and other animals and birds native to the rainforest. The children were introduced to many new animals and some Spanish terms as well.
The Timberlake Science Club hosted a variety of activities and art project for all of the students Pre-K through 6th Grade to celebrate Earth Day! Lots of
green books were on display in the library promoting environmental awareness. The junior high and high school Science Club members were on hand to encourage green practices and answer questions about recycling, global warming, and other environmental issues. It was a fun and educational day for all!
