EARTH DAY LESSON PLANS IS GREAT
Thank you for valuable suggestions
I enjoyed reading this post, especially because Earth Day is coming soon. I am a kindergarten teacher, and I think it is important to teach children about the Earth. Children are the future, and we as educators are responsible for teaching them what they need to know to protect our planet. Next week I will be teaching my children about Earth and I will use many of the ideas that you mentioned, they are amazing! Thank you for your suggestions.
I will teach my students how to create a sustainable world. It is an outstanding opportunity to focus the children’s attention, creativity and imagination on the environment. This will motivate the students to act persuasively to help solve environmental problems and give more attention to global issues.
I believe that teaching kids to love the Earth is a gentle guide to exploring the natural world with a sense of discovery and curiosity. This will help the children give extra care to our beloved planet.
I will give my students a chance to cooperate, participate, and interact to recall what they learned (Ullman, E. 2011).
During the week, I will be doing different activities that I would like to share with you:
1. I will ask students to dress up every day with a different t-shirt color:
– Yellow to present Sun
– White to present Air
– Blue to present Water
– Brown to present soil
I will take pictures of the students when they are dressed up, and I will hang the pictures in our class to remind children about what they have to do to our Environment.
2. We will sing “Plant a Little Seed.”
I will present on the smart board an online story (“How do plants grow?”).
Each one of the students will make a planting activity (growing plant from seeds). The students will take planting worksheets and they will cut/write the words and paste them next to the right part of the plant.
Thanks
