Earth Day Poems, Quotes and Songs
Here is a collection of nature themed poems and Earth Day quotes and songs that I have accumulated. Most of the poems simply celebrate the beauty of nature -- I think they're great to share during Earth Day. I hope you can use them at home, in your classroom or your daycare to help the children celebrate.
