Oliver is an Eco-Warrior and Math Wiz

We have been picking up trash as a family for over a year now.  It is something that we absolutely love todo together.  Since Oliver is being home schooled, our cleanups are also an opportunity for learning.  Not only do we learn about the environment, we add math to the equation.  Today we focused on counting.  Every piece in the bucket, gets a number.  Oliver hit 129 today before stumbling.  It is absolutely amazing watching a child learn.  We struggled with counting until we stumbled upon litter counting.  Being something he loved, when we added in the math, his brain just took off and ran with it.
