Happy Earth Day!

Top Ten Reasons I Love Watching My Children Learn About the Earth

1.   I love to see their excitement as a seed sprouts or a flower blooms.



2.   I love to see them play with animals and pretend to be animals.

 

3.   I love to watch them discover an animal in the yard, our home or at the zoo.

 

4.   I love how excited they get when we pick food from the Earth.

 

5.   I love the outdoor adventures our family shares together.

6.   I love watching them discover sand, dirt, rocks and water. 

7.   I love how they create new things from old things and love to recycle.

   

8.   I love the treasures that find their way into our pockets from their discoveries outdoors.

9.   I love that we see more sunsets, sunrises, stars, moon, seasons, beaches and mountains.

10.   I love how they stop to see the beauty in flowers and bugs everywhere.
