Earth Day Superhero

Caden's class went on an earth day field trip to one of his classmates homes. They are big into composting, gardening, recycling etc. The mom made each of the kids Earth Day Superhero costumes complete with matching hat and bag. They got to see how a worm compost works and Caden even held a worm. They made a save the earth spinning wheel with all the different ways kids can help the environment. Caden had a great time and I was so impressed with all this mom did for the class.

Ellie also did special earth day activities at her school. Since she only goes to school every other Wednesday she actually had earth day off so they celebrated a week early. Her class learned about the environment, how to conserve and recycle (most everyone in Bend recycles so this is nothing new). They also went around the school and picked up trash. Her teacher brought in a special snack, dirt and worms. It was chocolate pudding with crushed up oreo's and a gummy worm. Ellie loved it so much she made it for us for our next FHE.

I am glad the kids are learning about the environment. It has been particularly helpful at home when I remind them they left the light on in the bathroom or are taking a too long a shower. Now they understand why we need to conserve. :)
