Summary: The students at Lakeland Intermediate have been given the annual Earth Day Challenge. With only recycled materials, they must landscape the front of their school building. They are competing against another school in the district that bends the rules. Who will come out victorious in the challenge? Your readers will only find out at the very end.

This might even inspire an Earth Day Challenge for your students!

Also, this reader's theater pack is the perfect teaching/learning tool to keep students engaged and enthusiastic about learning while you are out of the classroom.
