Today we learned about polar bears and ways that we can help save the polar bears and the earth!

We read the true story of Knut and learned about polar bears and how Knut was saved by the zookeepers at the Berlin Zoo.  You can find out more about Knut here .

Then we found out more about polar bears and learned that as the earth is changing, the polar bears are having more and more difficulty in finding food and may become extinct if things do not change for them.  We found out that there are many easy things that we can do to help the earth and help the polar bears.

We can plant a tree.

We can turn off lights when we leave a room.

We can try to walk or bike to places when we are able, instead of riding in a car.

We can remind our parents to unplug electrical devices and chargers when they are not in use.

We can reduce, reuse and recycle.
