| Publisher Description: Learn Every Day About Our Green Earth makes it easy for teachers to incorporate discussions about caring for Earth into any curriculum with activities that promote responsible behaviors while remaining fun and enjoyable. Taking care of our planet has never been more important, and schools and families are teaching even the youngest children about environmental responsibility. In this book, activities like "Recycling Adds Up" and "Block Compost" teach children the importance of reusing and recycling, while "Thank a Tree" and "Worms Are Good Guys" teach them how to respect and love nature. Global awareness is everyone's responsibility, and the activities in Learn Every Day About Our Green Earth help teachers pass along this important knowledge to the next generation. |
