I am soooo ready for spring—getting out,
enjoying some sunshine and delighting in the
beauty of the environment. Wildflowers brighten
the countryside and we've got a great page to
help you identify flowers and learn about state
flowers—every state has one—what's yours?
Earth Day on April 22. Let's make that a time to
learn more about the value of recycling and what
we can all do to help our planet.
Easter is on April 17 and Easter would not be
Easter without the Bunny Buddies. We have a
great page that explains what symmetry is all
about. There are some
puzzles to help you
figure out symmetry
and a great project
for you to make
symmetry art.
Remember to do these
with a buddy, someone
older if it looks hard or
someone younger if they
need help.
Rachel Carson was a conservationist who wrote
one of the most influential books about the
environment. Her book warned of the dangers of
using harsh chemicals on the land and the effect
on nature. We owe her a debt of gratitude.
Sometimes the food you eat, the animals you
come in contact with and even the air you
breathe can cause an allergic reaction. Allergies
are no fun but there are ways to deal with the
problems they cause. Kid Scoop News provides
some suggestions.
If spring has sprung where you live, go
outside and take a deep breath. Shake off the
winter blues and enjoy some fresh air. Visit a
farmers market, celebrate Easter and Earth
Day, look for wildflowers and caterpillars,
play an outdoor sport or just ride your bike.
It's springtime—time to enjoy the season!

Hey, kid! You left
this at the beach
yesterday!
Styrofoam plates?
You brought
styrofoam plates?!?
You folks will have to
camp somewhere else.
It's a very smoggy day
and you're driving the
two blocks to the store
instead of walking?
I'm afraid I'll have to
write you a ticket, sir.
