The World is our Classroom

For Christmas, Mason received a kit with materials for kids to write and send away for a bound "published" book. This morning we were playing with ideas for his book:

We talked about writing a funny story, an adventure to find treasure. I suggested maybe a book for other kids...

Mason suggested, "maybe about what it is like to break your arm? like I did last summer...or maybe about kids with parents in different houses..." and then he was quiet for a moment and then said

"OR...we could write about Global Warming...so kids will know not to throw trash on the ground."
Surprised, I asked, "how do you know about global warming?"
Mason: "Geez Mom, I've known about global warming since I was 5!"
