Earth Day

Happy Earth Day!  The girls celebrated their appreciation for the earth by writing their own promises about ways they can be mindful of the environment.  They brainstormed thoughtful ideas about recycling, planting gardens, and reducing waste.  They finger painted their own globes and adorned them with green glitter.  Fitting for Earth Day, they also transplanted their sunflowers which, in recent days, have really sprouted and are starting to outgrow their tiny pots.  The girls carefully unearthed the roots and transferred them to bigger pots that they had painted.  The sunflowers are enjoying their new homes and some welcome sunshine- although some springier temperatures would be nice too!
