Dear Teach: Earth Day



Hi Boys and Girls,

In celebration of a very special day, Earth Day, I am featuring a portion of my January 14's blog. View the clip below and then think about the following ideas.

In light of oh so many events that have circled our globe in the past few months, and even just days in this new 2013 year, that's not so very new any more, let's stop and think: What lessons have we learned?

What is it that humanity is in desperate need of?

What new idea did Carl Sagan bring to you?

What is it that you as a human being are shown here?

Was Carl Sagan more than a cosmologist? In what way?

Is this important? Why?

Are you more than a 10, 11, or 12 year old? In what way?

Are most people more than who they appear to be? Is there a common thread that binds us all? If so, what is it?

Is there more than one way to view things?

What are your thoughts on his ideas?

This is a day to think deeply about and to reflect upon--Earth Day. What does it mean to you?

Make a pledge to yourself or some small action you can take--on this day.

Be well kids.
