JAE students are sharing their opinions on environmental issues and working to convince others to do their part. Fifth graders in Ms. Julianne Warren’s class each chose a topic on how they can help the planet and wrote an editorial for why others should do so as well. They researched and learned to write about things such as turning off the lights, composting and preserving water and presented their findings to their classmates.
“Some of them were even convinced to follow the suggestions of their peers,” said Ms. Warren of Aidan Rubi’s suggestions to eat more wheat instead of meat, Taiga Matsumoto’s thoughts on the importance of planting trees to help the Earth and why we need to recycle, according to Gwendolyn Graham, among others.
