We have been discussing earth day and how we can celebrate. The children decided we could clean up the earth, decorate the playground with diamond shapes and feed the animals. On our hike we brought food for the deer, geese and birds. L and M collected pinecones for the squirrels. Maria saved the leftover vegetables from lunch yesterday for the geese and deer. We brought a garbage bag to collect the trash in the forest (mindful of what we touch). We found a snail on our travels. We moved it off the road and onto the grass to keep it safe. We left vegetables and bird seeds on the island for the geese. We left seeds in a birdfeeder and pinecones for the squirrels nearby. We left carrots for the deer in the grass beside a trail with hoof prints.
We also found a space that had been used for a fire. "I am angry, sad and frustrated!" said KO. " We need to tell the Police and Fire Department!" said JE. The children are worried that the forest could burn down and people and animals would be homeless (MS). We have decided to write a letter to the Police and Fire Department to let them know. There are hopes of jail time to the offenders. On our hike we also remembered the manhole and tried to peek inside. They said it was very deep. They said there was a ladder and water. They must have very good vision. Next week maybe we will beautify the playground with our diamonds. Written by Susanne Robitaille
