Learning Objectives

  • Students will learn about the Earth and what they can do to be green.

Introduction

(15 minutes)
  • Read The Earth Book by Todd Parr aloud to the class.
  • Review some ideas about ways that we can help the Earth. If this is a new concept for the students, use the book as a springboard for ideas by reviewing the pictures as a class. Great examples of how kids can help the Earth include: turning off the sink when brushing your teeth, using both sides of a sheet of paper, and recycling things like bottles and boxes.
  • Write down student responses, indicating the child's name by the idea they gave.
