Earth Day/Earth Hour
Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22. It's celebrated in the north and the south and in the central parts of the Earth. The first Earth day was on 1969 and was founded by John McConnell.
Plus I think that Earth day matters very much to the world. On March 28 we had a night that you were to shut off all the lights that for one hour to help save the planet. Over 4000 cities and 88 countries took part in this event! A lot of big cities took part such as Toronto to Vancouver, New York and San Francisco. All the way across the world, CN tower to the Grate Wall of China had all the lights turned off. If we don't stop Filling the air with bad chemicals a lot of animals and humans will be killed such as all the people of Holland and the polar bears will die. In 2040 people believe that we will not be able to see any of the stars in the sky. I hope that never happens. We need to stop being the problem and start cleaning up what we did. Everyday should be Earth day not just one day a year. Riley

Holland Project
We had Holland teachers come to see us last week they are our holland pen pals teachers were really nice they gave us candies and cookies they were good and we got little key chain wooden dutch shoes. We got to see a power point that the tech teacher made for us and we got to learn lots about Holland and about there wind mills there they have lots of wind mills in Holland. We had the dutch teachers and some of the people that work at district 16 to come and see Ethan's power point on Native culture his power point was really good. We even got a song to sing and we tried to sing it in Dutch we were pretty good at singing it in Dutch. They gave us sunflower seeds to try to grow and whoever grows the biggest and best looking sunflower the dutch teachers will send us a prize all we have to do is send them a picture in the mail or send the picture by email. We even got to talk and see our Holland friends on skype my partner is Dani she is really nice we email them a lot. Hopefully we will get to see the Holland teachers again and I hope they will come back to Canada because they were great to have at our school
