Had my best Earth Day to date today! Probably because it's the first time I celebrated it the proper way--teaching about the importance of protecting the environment. We had a field trip of 60 3rd graders at the Discovery Center this morning. I wish we would have had a special program that was all about Earth Day and it's history, but then again, taking the kids on a hike through the forest was a pretty perfect way to commemorate the day.
So, happy April 22nd everyone! Let's remember Gaylord Nelson, the U.S. Senator who got the whole thing started 40 years ago.
