The Problem
My wish for this project is to engage my second grade class in learning experiences which foster a love for our earth: the plants, the sea, the sky, and most especially all species of animals living here, including ourselves. They will learn about the needs of plants and animals, the importance of reducing, reusing, recycling, and they will develop a intimate understanding of our responsibility as people of this earth, to do our very best to take care of it. They will feel empowered by knowing that even children can make a difference, and they will gain enough knowledge to then inspire others to live with compassion in their hearts for our natural world.
