April is my favorite month this semester, because 1. the sun came out after 6 months, and 2. our beautiful campus looks green again! This means that our Think Green group can take advantage of the season and plan out activities for the Boyd kids that would have been otherwise more difficult to plan during the cold months. And this leads up to the Green Carnival, the big event with which we will culminate our project with teaching them to be green. We went to one of the activities that the Garden Club was hosting one night at Boyd, and got involved in several activities with the children, including making those Boyd booklets with recycled paper and cardboard, and planting avocado seeds with milk boxes. It was fun, and we got to see a slideshow of the really young children explaining what they have learned about being Green. It was definitely a fun experience.
But what really got me excited about planning the Green Carnival was going shopping for the materials for it. We got tons of crafts, glitter, glue, paint, materials, seeds, decorations, and prizes. We even got them some Easter candy. If I were a child, I'd be ecstatic to see all the cool things we will be doing with them at the Carnival. I'm looking forward to building the activity and to get the children all riled up about the event. This Sunday we are planning to go to the Garden and help plant something out, and considering how sunny it has been, I'm hoping for a great day. I'm excited, and looking forward to culminating the year with the Green Carnival, as well as planning our Summit Social soon.
