Students at Perry Hall Elementary planted seeds and decorated T-shirts on Wednesday.
If you ask Jake Hutchins why it's important to recycle, he tells you: "So we can help the earth and not like fill up landfills." The third-grader spent much of Wednesday morning decorating a T-shirt and planting seeds with the help of his teacher, Melissa Foy, at Perry Hall Elementary. "Between science, social studies and health units, we're trying to raise environmental awareness," Foy said. While all third-graders in the school decorated T-shirts with paintings of the earth and slogans like "don't litter," Foy's was the only class to plant seeds. Most of the materials for the planting were donated by Miracle-Gro, she said. "It's important for the kids to understand that it's up to them to keep the earth clean," Foy said. What does your …

A closet you don’t use can make the perfect escape.
Despite the huge playroom my children have in our Perry Hall home, I would often catch my boys playing with flashlights and hiding in the coat closet. I don’t know what it is about enclosed spaces, but I'm sure my kids aren’t the only ones who create forts, hide under tables and play in closets. So, I decided to create a permanent clubhouse in our basement closet under the stairs. Since we don’t use this space for storage, it makes a perfect clubhouse for my boys. And no, it has nothing to do with Harry Potter. We started by going to Lowe’s in White Marsh to pick out a paint color. My boys both love the color red, so that’s what they picked. Then we prepared the space and got busy painting and decorating. My 5-year-old loved that I helped…

Suffering from cabin fever? Here are some activities to spruce up your day.
Whether you are trapped inside because of a snow day, a sick day or just trying to avoid being out in the cold, keeping your kids busy can help the day run more smoothly. You can make the most of the day, even if you didn’t plan ahead. Last week, we had plans to go to a friend’s house for a play date. Naturally, my boys woke up sick that morning, with one a snotty mess and the other coughing. They were both fighting colds and it didn’t seem right to take them out if they were contagious. We were all going to be stuck at home. So how did I keep the kids busy—and keep my sanity—without resorting to television? We started our day by making Star Wars pancakes. My little Star Wars fans love this kit, but we rarely have enough time on a weekday …
