4 Our School — A Happy Place

Green School
Aasha and Mohit were walking to school together.
“Do you like going to school?” Aasha asked.
Mohit smiled happily and said, “I love school! It is
where I see my friends, play games and learn new
things every day. It is my happy place”.
Our school is a place where we feel safe, and cared
for. It is where we learn so many things.
Asha said, “My school teaches us how to care for
plants, trees and animals. I want to make my school
better like a green school”.
“What is a green school?” Mohit asked.
“My brother told me once, green school is a
school where we manage our waste, save water, use
electricity carefully, and make the campus green by
planting more trees and taking care of them”.
Aasha and Mohit share their idea with their
classmates. Everyone became curious. What about
our school? Can we make it a green school too?
Their teacher Anupam, who is teaching them ʻThe
World Around Usʼ asked, “I enjoyed your discussion,
I want to know how will you begin this?”.
