Earth Day

Today's adventure or should I say trip begins before school. This morning before school Black-capped Chickadees caught my attention from the beautiful sunrise. Then at 8:45am I got prepared for school. We started driving at 8:55am and arrived at school 9:05am. Just in time to play a quick game of football in the school yard. Then at 9:10am the bell rang and we went inside prepared for class. Of course we had recess break and nutrition break. At 1:15pm we went outside walking to a senior motel. When we arrived there our teacher and the owner of the senior motel instructed us how to plant chives and other herbs into pots. We did and brought over to the table. The owner gave us popsicles, a wristband that said "Make Every Day Earth Day" "earthday.ca" and a non-permanent tattoo that had a green leaf with blue streaks around it. It also showed "EARTHDAY CANADA earthday.ca". Then we walked back to school at 3:00pm and wrote our homework in our S. T. Worden. P. S. agendas. Then our teacher let us outside early to play football for the fourth time today. My team lost 9 to 14. Then at 3:30pm we went home and I heard American Goldfinches in our backyard.
