Our class will be reading about people that help the 

environment. In Earth Smart, the main idea is that

Goodwillie Environment School is a green school. A 

green school is friendly to the environment. The details 

tell more about the main idea. We will read about the  school’s 

walls and floors.  They were built with recycled materials. As 

we keep reading, there will be other details that tell me 

more about this green school.

We went to see Dinosaur George on Wednesday, September 10th.  We had a lot of fun, and we learned about dinosaurs that lived a long time ago!
