EARTH DAY

In celebration of Earth Day this week, I created this little quiz using Interact.com.  Let’s see what you know about Earth Day. You may need to page up or down to answer the questions and see the results once you begin the quiz.  Not quite sure how to edit the size of the quiz page on here.  

 

So now that we know more about Earth Day, let’s have some fun celebrating.  Here are a few jokes that I found here on Jill Riley’s blog Confidence Meets Parenting.  Here is her link to print out the jokes if you’d like to share them with your family and friends.

I also found some great nature scavenger hunts for kids.  Since we are protecting our environment, we certainly need to get out and enjoy it also.  Go grab this scavenger hunt and get outside in the sunshine! There is one with pictures for little ones and one with words for bigger kids.
