Abstract:
"The challenge at the elementary school level is to teach basic concepts while nurturing children's respect for and stewardship of the natural world. Teaching Green - The Elementary Years helps educators to meet this challenge through developmentally appropriate activities that engage students mentally, physically, and emotionally. Designed for anyone working with children from Kindergarten to Grade 5, whether in schools or in non-formal education settings, it offers 50 kid-tested teaching strategies for promoting interdisciplinary hands-on learning about natural systems and fostering critical thinking about environmental issues." --Book Jacket.
