Earth Day Globes

Earth Day! We are learning about Earth Day this entire week. :) We watched Wall-E after the grueling STAAR test, then talked about what Earth Day meant and the reasons behind it. The COOLEST thing is making our paper mache globes! I got this idea off Pinterest here. We are going to light up our room with them. The students will paint them like the Earth and then we will poke small holes on the land portion when they're dry. Then we will put a battery operated tea light under at the bottom to make them light up so it looks like lights from cities on the globe. Super fun! I can't wait to see the finished products. :)
