"Lights, Camera, Action!" Students Celebrate Earth Week and David Wiesner

Last week Calvert School celebrated Earth Week. The students learned about recycling and saving energy.

Additionally, the 6D students have been reading many books by the author and illustrator David Wiesner.  One of my favorites is

It is a fictional story about a boy who finds an old camera washed up on the beach.  Wiesner illustrates the story from a camera's point of view- the pictures inside are truly amazing.

To conclude our author study of Wiesner the class made cameras.  We used recycled materials for this craft in honor of Earth Week.

Recycled Supplies Used:
-toilet paper tubes
-kleenex boxes
-milk caps
