Wear Orange on Wednesday

 

We read a true story about a little girl who wore an orange shirt, which was very special to her, on her first day of residential school.  Ask your child what happened and why they call it, Orange Shirt Day.

An interesting substitute for Saran Wrap...

 

This beeswax food wrap can be used as an environmentally friendly substitute for saran wrap.  It can be used for two years and when you throw it away, it decomposes quickly.  The warmth of your hand will mold the paper into any shape you want, sealing containers, bowls, etc.  I ordered mine online.  The class thought it was such a great idea to keep our earth HEALTHY and CLEAN.

Why do we celebrate Dot Day?
