The Future Is Green

On April 22, 2010 millions around the world will celebrate Earth Day this year marking its 40th anniversary. The idea behind the day - honoring the planet and all living things that inhabit it - began during the early 1960's hippie movement, as Earth Day bloomed into a grassroots cause that eventually culminated in the first official U.S. observance celebrated in 1970. Taking Charge Of The Earth And It's Resources, is a lesson plan that I've used for the past two years during home school and my oldest enjoys it every time.

The major emphasis of this unit is to promote awareness and understanding of the environment and some of its natural resources. Students will understand how to conserve some natural resources and why it’s important to protect them. They will have a working knowledge of how recycling works and how they can do their part in keeping the earth clean.







I'm not saying you have to be this extreme.

Hooray, A New Challenge!
 Grab some buttons!

Disneynature will be bringing Oceans to theaters on Earth Day. OCEANS offers an unprecedented look beneath the sea. I think the Legend and I will be splurging for this one!
