| Impact Report | Earth Day: Midway Elementary in Lemitar, NM hosted a Earth Day event at their school were they invited the Socorro County Extension Office, Bosque Del Apache and a Geologist to their school to discuss topics related to Earth Day. The Socorro County Extension Agents discussed how plants affect the earth. We discussed what plants need to live such as soil, water, sun and carbon dioxide. We discussed how plants help us by producing oxygen that we need to breathe and we produce carbon dioxide that plants need to breathe. Each child was allowed to make a dirt baby to take home and care for. Every Kindergarten through 5th grade students in the school participated in the activity, with 100 dirt babies being made. HEAD: Thinking • Decision Making – Youth had to decide how they were going to decorate their dirt baby. HANDS: Giving • Responsible Citizenship – Youth learn to be responsible by caring for their dirt baby at home; they have to make sure it has plenty of food and water or it will die. • Community Service Volunteer – By participating in Earth Day activities youth learn the importance of caring for their community and make their school look beautiful for other to look at. |
