The WordGirl Word of the Month for April is…“RECYCLE”!
It’s only right that this month’s word is “RECYCLE” – since it’s WordGirl to
the rescue on April 22 with a special Earth Day-themed episode on PBS
stations from coast-to-coast (check local listings). When the Birthday
Girl learns that the Earth is having a celebration on her birthday, she
decides to teach the Earth a lesson. Will WordGirl be able to foil the
Birthday Girl and save the environmental holiday before it’s too late…?
The Emmy® Award-winning WordGirl, produced
by Scholastic Media, follows the everyday life and superhero adventures
of WordGirl as she fights crime and enriches vocabulary usage.
Disguised as mild-mannered 5th-grader Becky Botsford,
WordGirl arrived on planet Earth when she and her monkey sidekick,
Captain Huggy Face, crashed their spaceship. WordGirl possesses
extraordinary strength, with the added benefit of a colossal vocabulary.
Each episode introduces four new vocabulary words and reinforces their
meanings in a variety of contexts.
My girls (4 and 6) both love word girl. It's fun and family-friendly, plus they're learning! We'll check out this episode, since we also love to do things for the planet.
