Our class is 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. I read that the school's walls and floors were built with recycled materials. As we keep reading, there will be other details that tell me more about this green school.
