Happy Earth Day!

It's April 22, which means it's time to recycle, plant a tree, and be thankful for Mother Earth. Of course, we should do those things every day of the year, and today - Earth Day - only reinforces our awareness. What are you going to do to celebrate? The students at my school will be planting trees this afternoon on the school grounds, and I'll be singing "Good Green Earth" from the album Good Morning Sun, Good Night Moon.

You won't be surprised to hear that this was another great iTunes find, originally written and recorded by James K. I absolutely love this song, and it's been a hit here at the Hope Institute for quite some time now. I love using shakers with this song - we shake them up high, down low, and in a circle during the chorus. Another plus is that we can work on days of the week and months of the year at the same time!

Have yourself a wonderful Earth Day...the forecast here is 70 degrees and sunny, so you know I will :) See you tomorrow!
