The Earth Day Groceries Project

 Every Day is Earth Day

getting involved in our community

The Earth Day Groceries Project is an environmental awareness project. It's managed online by Mr. Mark Ahlness at Arbor Heights Elementary School in Seattle, Washington. This is the eighteenth year this project has been coordinated on the internet. Hundreds of schools have participated from High Schools to Kindergarten classes. We, too, have participated and borrowed paper grocery bags from local grocery stores. Then, we decorated them in the classroom with pictures of the Earth and wrote our environmental messages. Finally, we returned the decorated grocery bags to the stores. The stores then distributed these bags to shoppers on Earth Day. It was really a good way to get involved in our community and spread these messages out. We think we did something with pictures and words...

Our German friends have recorded their thoughts on the Lunch Box Project. They're so glad they have tried out new technology tools this school year and made some of our Lebanese food. They also learned to speak some Chinese and Arabic.

Our Beloved River

Incorporation with Med Bank on working on the “Green School” Grade three students attended a puppet show about “Our Beloved River” that was prepared by grade four. Through this show grade four showed third graders the importance of water and the way we should take care of it in order to save our environment and fulfill our needs: such as drinking, washing, showering… At the end of this productive show, grade four students took the role of the teacher and held out a discussion that was seized to make sure students’ attitudes and habits will become environmental friendly. Thanks to our dear students in grade four: Odai Ghaleb who played the role of the narrator and was responsible for holding the discussion at the end of the puppet show. He played his role successfully in asking appropriate questions and providing third graders with related important information according to the topic. Also, thanks to Hiba Azani who played the role of the princess and gave crucial advice to third graders concerning protecting our environment. Thank you Ali Bissani, Rakan El Khatib, Mohamad Misto, Aya Dokmak my dear students you did a great job to make this show successful…

German Friends Made Our Lebanese Food

German Friends Trying our Lebanese Food: labne and hummus

Our friends from Germany have added a photo and a video on our "Lunch Box" wiki page. They wrote:

"We Made Your Food"
Our group from Germany decided to make some Lebanese food. We made Labne and Hummus and ate it with olives and pita bread. It was very tasty. I asked the students to explain what they liked best about this activity and they said:
"It was fun to do."
"We worked well as a team."
"It brought us closer together and we worked well as a team."

Lunch Box Project: Answers from Germany

Our friends at Leipzig International School in Germany have sent us a  message telling us that they've watched the video we made for them and they had a go at saying the Arabic. They'll make a short video of it for us soon! They also told us that they just adored seeing us watch their video in the classroom and  they  especially LOVED the bit at the end about Miss Martini being gorgeous. It is now a well used phrase in their classroom. 

Here is a video our German friends have posted on our  "Lunch Box" wiki page to answer our questions. We're so excited that they're going to try  'hummus' and 'labne' tomorrow. 

Thank you dear friends...we're sure you'll like the taste of our Lebanese food.
