Earth Day Resources - Celebrating Planet Earth in 2021

Every day should be Earth Day, but that doesn't take away from how special Earth Day should be every year. It is that one day of the year that we can believe that everyone in the world is reminded to take at least a moment and recognize our planet and the environment. 

Today I wanted to share some resources my PLN has explored to engage students in at least one day of exploring Planet Earth and the Environment. Many of these resources could also be used throughout the year. #HappyLearning
