I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.
– Frank Lloyd Wright
So the girls and I had another theme week!
But between my MS acting up, CJ being out of town, and the girls sick
and home half the week … we got a slow start … but I’d say … according to
the fun we had and the projects we did … we finished strong!
We melted blue and green crayons into earth-colored-heart shapes.
We made blue and green earth-colored cupcakes.
We read all kinds of “green” themed books.
We made our own Earth Day shirts.
We took Earth Day pledges.
And finished the week, Sunday night, watching the movie Earth.
The girls even chose the movie over morning cartoons the next day.
But I think the most fun we had was putting together the terrariums!
Another thing we did that I think was probably most important … we decided
to keep a “paperless kitchen” for the week.
I’m the first to hang my head shamefully at how much waste we put
out as a family. Especially in our kitchen. Sad really.
So I decided to talk to the girls about it and it was fun to work at it
together, knowing they understood what we were doing
and why we were doing it.
I think overall we did pretty good. The one area we still
used paper was with our napkins.
But …
My goal for this summer is to go completely paperless {in the kitchen}.
Wish me luck on that one!
Piper’s Pledge
I will help the earth be clean.
I will not waste water by keeping it on too long.
Wynter’s Pledge
I will recycle and save the earth.
I will not waste paper.
Hunter’s Pledge
Pretty sure she wrote something deep and profound!
And while I realize, every day should be Earth Day … I’m thankful for these eye-opening reminders to help us get back on track. I was excited too, about what the girls school did throughout the week to reinforce the importance of being kind to our earth.
They took a trip to our local eco-justice center. And they also required every student bring a cold lunch … and then had a contest and prize for the class that had packed their lunch with the least amount of waste. A bit challenging … but fun!
I hope your Earth Day activities were eventful, thoughtful, and resourceful!
