A child’s thought on environment protection (repost)

3 Replies

This is one of my favorite posts from 2010 about my son’s (who was in 4th grade then) take on environment protection. Read on. 

Last school year, my son’s 4th grade class was assigned by their teacher to draw something about preserving the environment and write a paragraph about their drawing. My son submitted this simple drawing, but I feel proud of what he wrote to describe the important points of his drawing.

He is only 10 and yet he is aware of what people can do to take care of the environment such as avoid illegal logging and incessant use of fishnet to catch small fish. My son could even mention about recycling in his essay. For example, to donate or sell used books so other students can still use them and lessen the number of trees being cut down to produce paper…Khalil scored 10 points each for the drawing and essay. Ten is the highest point given by their teacher for the assignment.

Worthwhile and Practical Activities Moms Can Do This Summer

Leave a reply

There are times when moms become bored at home because they do not have anything to do. If this is the case, then there are some fun activities that can be done that will not require moms to spend a lot of money. Here are just some of the activities that moms can do:

  • Do some sewing. Sewing and doing cross stitch can help moms lose time because they will be immersed in making figures with the use of the thread, the cloth and the needle. There are some moms who discover their talent in sewing because of this simple activity.

  • Teach kids household chores. Moms can always make chores seem like a fun activity with the use of creativity. Not only will moms be able to bond with their kids, kids will also learn the importance of sharing the chores inside the house.

  • Moms can also work online during the summer especially when they are busy if it’s not summer time.

These are just some activities that are worthwhile. There are still more things that can be done that are not only practical, they are effective as well.

Hubby and I are supportive of our children especially if it concerns anything about their progress in school. This school break, one of the kids was actually dreaming of attending an art workshop. It’s not just an art workshop that will enhance our daughter’s talent in drawing, but it will give her the opportunity to meet some of the men (and women) behind popular animated films in the US. N would like to learn more about their craft and how she will be able to apply the knowledge to practice. The registration fee is not cheap but we were able to avail the early bird rate and register for a one-day workshop for our daughter. Besides the experience, N will be able to receive an E-certificate of participation for her attendance. She can add this to her portfolio for future purposes.
