Planting Seeds for Earth Day April 21, 2018 in LSA News, Program FeaturesChildren in our Parenting & Child Development program planted seeds in honor of Earth Day The socialization classes, which are geared toward children 0-3 years old and their parents, involve activities that nurture age-appropriate development. For Earth Day, that meant decorating planters out of recycled bottles, filling them with soil and planting seeds in them. The group also did an activity honoring the four elements of earth, air, wind and fire. These activities encouraged parents as well as children to be good stewards of the earth. In addition, children in grades K-3 who participate in our after school program learned about conservation and created a mural in honor of Earth Day. Children and parents worked together to decorate planters made from recycled water bottles. The children planted seeds and will watch them grow in the coming weeks. A display includes native seeds, a drum, a seashell, and other items to represent the elements of earth, air, fire and water.
