__**Earth Day - 2/7/12**__

Our group has been working on ways to promote Earth Day around the school, such as trivia announcements, pep rallies, a power point, crafts, and games.

Our next steps are to finish the projects we already started (trivia, power point, Earth Day introduction). Also, we will need to check with the office to make sure that we are allowed to do announcements in the mornings. We need to figure out a way to get the Earth “balloon” to KMS as well.

__**Earth Day- 2/15/12**__

Our group has been working on ways to further promote Earth Day throughout KMS. We are doing this through things such as trivia announcements and fun facts and many other ways. We are making plans to have a pep rally for Earth Day although this needs to be discussed with the pep rally group teachers. Our group is going to make posters to promote Earth Day, and if this is possible, we would like everyone to wear green for the pep rally.

Our next steps are to solidify our pep rally idea and to make sure it is possible. We need to get specifics laid out and we need to start actively planning out the details of our Earth Day celebration or pep rally. We also need to solidify the games and activities we would like to do on Earth Day.

__**Lesson Plans**__-**2/7/12** Our group has been planning to go into classrooms to teach about recycling. We have come up with the content that we are going to teach and how we are going to teach them. We are doing a jeopardy game as a review of everything we teach and a food chain activity where the fish eat plastic and are then consumed by other animals and harm them.

Our next steps are to perfect our plan and go into classrooms and teach our plan to others.

Our group is ready to go into classrooms. We are going in 7th period on March 5, 7,8,2. We also are going into homerooms starting tomorrow and giving a brief account of recycling to get the word out. Our next step is to follow up with our planning by doing it.

__**Lesson Plans**__**-3/9/12** Our group has gone into all of the homerooms in the school except for the 7th grade mega team. We have gone into the 7th grade mega team classes and taught for 30 minutes. We are done with going into classrooms and feel that everything went well. As this is our last class, we are going to talk about what went well and what we could change, if we did it again. However, there is not much else that we can do.

Our next steps are to complete the posters and to work towards organizing a pep rally. our earth day group is making epic posters and we are thinking of doing a recycling game at the pep rally
