  Suggested Activities for the Classroom or EAC Groups

  1. Collection Jars for endangered species over lunches. Have 4 or 5 jars with a picture of an endangered animal on it. Ask students to cast their vote by contributing spare change to the animal of their choice. The winning animal at the end of Earth week gets all of the monies and is adopted by the school. This can be done through the Philadelphia Zoo. Usually the zoo will send a picture of the adopted animal which could be hung in the school’s lobby.

  2. Plant a Tree - donated once again from Feeney’s nursery. (email kwolverton@crsd.org with questions)
     • We are getting a native tree from Bucks County to plant at each building in CR for Earth Week.  This one has great fall color, berries for birds and nice bark. These will be in a 2.6 gallon size pots.
