Integrating Seasons: Earth Day

Today's Google grows on you!

Today is Earth Day. Earth Day, which was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in 1970, is celebrated in many countries each year on April 22. Hopefully the weather is nice and you can get outside. The NY Times had a great article on 10 Ways to learn about the environment. Click HERE to get some ideas. Activities that inspire inspiration and awareness is what today is all about. Go on a walk, plant a flower, look for bugs. And at the end of the day, write about ways you can love the earth.

Another great series that uses math and has ideas in the back of the book for parents:


Earth Day is recognized on this day, but it doesn't have to end and begin on this day. We can teach our children to be responsible for their little piece of the world by recycling, planting, and not being wasteful.

In our house, we have two different trash cans and the children know what goes in the regular trash and the GREEN bin. Starting small to raise conscious citizens.
