Our short film documenting our "SAVE THE EARTH SCHOOL FAIR"
Sultana Call to Action
Producer: Madeline Gillum
Madeline Gillum's 6th Grade Class at Sultana Elementary created this video through the MY HERO / iEarn Learning Circles!
We participated in the MY HERO Call to Action Learning Circle with classes from Mali, Togo, Pakistan, USA, Morocco and Moldova
My class worked in committees to complete their "Call to Action" activities, fair and short film. They hosted an educational fair with the theme of "Save Our Earth". They invited our local forest rangers, local City Recycling representatives, and our local water conservation group. These are also the heroes they are honoring. Each of these groups had a display to share their efforts with our community. The students had booths and tables to educate and encourage our neighbors to take responsibility to preserve our resources. The following are the things they created. You can check it out in our short film!
A play based on recycling. We have 7 year old students that we mentor and they will also take part in the play as little RE Cy Cling bugs.
A craft table for children using water bottles, used paper, etc.
An information table with student presentations and posters based on global problems such as the "trash island" in the Pacific Ocean and overfllowing landfills. They are also focusing on clean up efforts for our local stream that feeds into our aquifer where we get our water. We are also working with local water conservations scientists measuring the water quality of our mountain streams. When the students saw the vandalism they were appalled. I attached pictures where they said they could hear the trees and rocks crying.
Our 7 year old little buddies created posters to encourage conserving water.
IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS FOR ALL CONCERNED!
