Happy Earth Day!

Today, April 22nd is Earth Day.  It's a day to celebrate and recognize everything our Earth does for
us.  We also can use today as a reminder to take care of our earth. 

Here are a few things you can do today to celebrate our earth:

  • Go for a walk!  (Make sure you are still "social distancing"!)  Use your 5 senses to observe what you are seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling as you walk.
  • Eat extra vegetables and fruits at your meals today.  Isn't it amazing all the wonderful food our earth gives us?
  • Check out today's "Google" doodle.  This is the image on Google for today only.  
  • Draw a plan for a garden.  Is your garden full of flowers? trees? vegetables? fruit? Be creative and draw a plan that is full of life!
  • Set up a recycling station for your house.  You can use boxes or bags.  Draw symbols for different types of recycling such as metal and paper and label your bags or boxes.  You might need to research how your community recycles.  Share your recycle plan with your family!
  • Make a bird feeder.  You can use just about ANYTHING to make a bird feeder from an empty bottle to bagel on a string or a pinecone!  You could even design your own bird feeder.   Be creative!
Those are just a few ideas.  What are some of the ideas YOU can come up with for how to celebrate and take care of our earth?
