Happy Earth Day

Thanks to their Science Teacher (Papa), the kids knew today what I meant when I asked them about being good stewards of the Earth.  We read two cute little books about Earth Day...Eco Babies and Fancy Nancy:  Every Day is Earth Day.   It's amazing how much anyone could learn from two simple children's books about being better to the Earth!  We colored a few pictures of animals and trees and such and talked about what exactly "nature" is.  I'm sure in the years to come, we will get more and more in depth with Earth day, but I was pretty proud of what we already do around here to be good to the environment.  Of course, everyone can always be better, but we're doing pretty good so far.  We also did a little handwriting with Earth Day and April and talked about capitalizing the first letter in holidays and months.  Rachel did some math and read a Biscuit book out loud to Ruby.  Pretty good day to return to school after an incredible weekend.  We hung out with almost all of our most favorite people from Friday at the zoo with Dr. Ed and Ms. Lisa to pizza night down the street, fun times on a dirt pile and dinner with the Fultons on Saturday, and a day of 5 year old cuteness with Mac and Rachel plus crazy train and bike time with Char Char.  I love ending the weekend exhausted and happy that we have such awesome people right here near us!
