Every Day is EARTH DAY

In Zachary Shapiro's We're All in the SAME BOAT, the camels complained . . . then they cooperated! As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day today, let's COOPERATE to take care of our planet, this one boat, the SAME BOAT, we all share!🌎

Mrs. Mitchum shared some great ideas for celebrating today:

-- Make a list of items that might be found in your yard, and invite your child to go on a Scavenger Hunt to find these items.

-- Play Outdoor I Spy. Our wonderful outdoors provides many things for your child to spy. You can even play this from your porch.

-- Read a book outside today. Maybe even enjoy a picnic outside today. Talk about our wonderful world!

-- Plant a garden.

-- Use items from nature to make a nature creation.

-- Gather some rocks and paint them.

-- Use bottle caps to make a picture or to make a border for a picture frame. Or, make a gameboard and use the bottle caps as game pieces.

-- Turn off lights when not in use. Your child might even want to make a sign to put under a light switch in your home to remind family members!

-- As a family, talk about ways you can recycle, reduce and reuse. Talk about what you as a family can do to protect our earth.

Have fun today appreciating our earth!

Open your heart to new ideas!  Camel is a backbending or "heart opening" pose.  Here's three ways to pretend to be a camel on HUMP DAY:

1/2 Camel

 

Full Camel -- when you need a little more bend

Supported Camel -- when you need a little less bend

Camel Pose strengthens the muscles of the back and improves spinal flexibility and posture. When you bend the back, you open your chest and create space, increasing your breathing capacity!  Yogis also say, "you dust the clouds off your heart!"🌩💙💚💙💚💙🌞

Guess what day it IS?  Guess what DAY it is? #EarthDay2020 #mrsbroamhats #mrsbroamMOVES #mrsbroamREADS
