Loving the Earth

Loving the Earth

"If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, then let us allow them to love the earth before we ask them to save it."  ~David Sobel

Maybe you've seen this quote by David Sobel hanging above the lockers on your way outside to the playground at Opal School. For me, it's a quote that holds so many memories as each year I watch children fall in love with the Earth over and over again. It happened today on our hike to the upper meadow. The trees had left us some presents: enough leaves to keep us entertained for hours. What a magical experience for us to share together this afternoon.
