OPEN SPACE IS NOT EMPTY SPACE

This is a cute way of celebrating EARTH DAY in April. The idea of OPEN-GREEN SPACE is becoming more prevalent as cities grow. Discuss the need for green space - wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, peaceful break for our hectic daily life....
Have students discuss what would happen if we cut down all trees, put in parking lots, and built buildings in all the space in our city.
On the worksheet, the students need to write a complete sentence with solid ideas, get it proofed by the teacher, then draw and color a detailed picture, using all of the space allowed.
