A word from Spencer
Spencer Says:
Hi, my name
is Spencer the Sprout
and I live in Prince
George’s County,
Maryland. It’s such a
beautiful place.
Spencer the Sprout
In some places
you may see tall buildings and
lots of people all around. In
other places you may see lots
of green grass and farms with
horses and cows.
Spencer the Sprout
It’s such a
special place to call home.
I am learning to help Prince
George’s County stand out
from the crowd.
Keep it clean and we will all be
Prince George’s
proud.

Activity 3
Last week, my class took a field trip to the Schmidt Center.
We learned about taking care of our environment and the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay is home to many types of fish and our famous Maryland Blue Crab. We learned all about watersheds too. Taking care of
our watershed can help us have clean water for the animals and beautiful healthy neighborhoods.
Here are some of the new words we learned at the Schmidt Center.
Environment
The land, air, and water where people and animals live.
Watershed
A place where all of the water that drains off the land ends up
in the same place.
Litter
Trash that is left on the ground or in other open areas.
Marine Debris
Trash that is in the ocean or Chesapeake Bay.
Pollution
Anything that can cause harm to the environment.
Reduce
To use less of something.
Reuse
To use something again.
Recycle
To take something old and turn it into a new item that can be used.
Activity: Use one of the new words you learned in a sentence!
