Today our students designed posters for International Earth Day. They were all submitted and one of them just may end up being turned into a banner that may become a permanent part of the Garden of Hope. I saw some very cute posters and I look forward to sitting down and going through all of them.
Meanwhile, we continued with starting seeds indoors. Instead of limiting this to all students in fourth grade and under, as originally planned, I opened it up to the whole school, teachers and parents included. So, today, after photographing each child planting each seed, I headed outdoors to meet the parents in the line that forms at pickup time. I was able to get each family who was there to pick up their child to plant at least one seed. Community, indeed! :)
The parents seemed thrilled and their kids loved the idea! It was, all in all, a wonderful way to spend International Earth Day. If the weather holds, it just may happen that the day all of our seedlings make it outside is National Earth Day (4/22/2012). Here's to hoping!
Meanwhile, here are some photographs. There were hundreds of photos to choose from, so there is only a sampling here. I will likely open up some sort of photo album account somewhere for all parents to view their children's photographs. And, tomorrow I will post more about what got planted today.
