Little Lily in Action

The Water Log


Students take Little Lily for a home visit. Using a "Little Lily's Water Adventure" sheet (see image below), the family counts the number of sinks, toilets, shower/tubs, dishwashers, and washing machines in the house. Students also indicate on the sheet which of three water conservation books the child reads during Little Lily's visit. Finally, the student creates a journal entry to bring back to the class to share their adventures with Little Lily. The journal entries are added to a classroom book, "The Water Adventures of Little Lily", for students to read as desired.

Froggie Care Packages & Other Goodies

We keep the students excited about Little Lily. After a student brings Little Lily home for a visit, he/she receives a certificate, frog tattoo, and has his/her name added to a large classroom poster. In addition, the Water Conservation Office sends a Froggie Care Package to Little Lily every month. This is packed with a letter and goodies for both the students, parents, and/or classroom. Add the letters to the classroom book, "The Water Adventures of Little Lily." If Little Lily ends her visit before the end of the school year, we continue to send packages to keep the water conservation messages and environmental education going. Here are images of a few of the items you may receive.
