Green blog!!!=)
A green class room would look like kids stop using paper and more work online. It is important of being mindful of are environment because we have to be saving on stuff in stead of using paper all the time more internet and boards. Becaus they cut down alot of trees just to make paper and we can save on that instead of using paper all th time. We are turning are classroom green by doing these thing to help the envionment. We can turn off the light when we don't really need them to save electrictiy.
