We are so proud to say that we are making extra efforts to GO GREEN this year! In honor of Earth Day 2010- we decided to plant a garden! With the wonderful help of Jossie and Sierra's grandpa, Carl Taylor! He came and dug up the dirt to start our garden! The kids will be big helpers in maintaining the garden- plus they get to learn about how the plants will grow- plus- we get to eat the YUMMY food!
This is our Earth Day project! We planted flower seeds into our RECYCLED veggie cans. We took dirt straight from our freshly tilled garden and the kids planted them ALL by theirselves! We talked about how important it is to keep our planet healthy. We read a book about being green and the kids responded so well to it!

Did you know that Giggles & Grins has been "GREEN" for awhile, now? We do lots of things to help our environment. We very seldom use paper towels or paper plates to eat, we use reusable towels to dry and wash ourselves, we recycle all of our plastics and cans, and we teachers do these things at our homes as well! I challenge you to do more for our earth- start today!
I found a really neat quote yesterday and actually posted it on my Facebook page. I wanted to share it with you today:
"Only when the last tree had died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish killed will we realize that we cannot eat money"~Cree Indian
That quote really hit me. I hope it inspires you to help save our planet- not for us- but for these kids and their kids.
