Happy Earth Day! What we're doing tonight for FHE!

If I could be a vegetarian hippy with a flower in my hair, I would totally go for it. It's just that I can't do the barefoot bit. I enjoy my flip flops. Which to some may be pretty much barefoot, but it's not. Even if there is snow on the ground... it's still not barefoot.

Psalms 33:5-9
" The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast."

To celebrate our mother earth we're going to do the following:


HERE is a great FREE bingo game by Jason's Online Classroom on TPT!! You have to have an account, but it's free and easy to set up.

HERE is a link to make simple origami seed pots out of newspaper. Some ink in newspaper isn't environmentally friendly. Just rub it to see if ink comes off on your finger, if not you should be safe!
We're going to fill them up with dirt and seeds.

Then we've baked our cupcakes....

Finally, we're going to set up a table on the corner of our street and give out free seeds and cupcakes and teach earth day songs to whoever wants to learn.

HERE are the earth day songs, again free on TPT. We especially like (sung to the tune of Frere Jaques)
We recycle!
We recycle!
Yes, we do!
Yes, we do!
Caring for our planet!
Caring for our planet!
You should too!
You should too!
