Lorax

Today we read a book called The Lorax. Dr. Seuss is not one of my favorite authors but he does a great job with The Lorax. Long before saving the earth became a global concern, Dr. Seuss, speaking through his character the Lorax, warned against mindless progress and the danger it posed to the earth's natural beauty. Later, we enjoyed watching the half hour movie during recess since it was raining outside. Afterwards, we created our own creatures, named them, and wrote how they either helped the earth like Lorax or polluted the earth like Once-ler. We made a HUGE mess but our end product turned out a success.
