Reading - A Green Day at School

Read the text and complete the activities below.

Today is Monday, June 1st. It is a special week at Green Valley School. The students are celebrating World Environment Day. They are not sitting in the classroom today. They are outside in the school yard.

Mrs. Davis is the science teacher. She is helping the students plant small trees. "Trees are very important for our planet," she says. "They give us clean air." The children are happy to work in the dirt.

On the other side of the yard, Leo and Mia are painting big posters. The posters are green and blue. Leo's poster says, "Love Our Earth!" Mia's poster says, "Don't Throw Trash!" They want to put the posters on the school walls.

At 10 o'clock, it is time for a snack. The students eat apples and bananas. They don't use plastic bags. They put the banana peels and apple cores in a special brown bin for compost. It is a great day. The students learn that small actions can help our big world.
