| Publisher Description: Teaching kids to love the Earth is a fun, colourful and user-friendly learning tool based on curriculum-prescribed learning outcomes for grades 1 & 2 . From the Life Science: Needs of Living Things section of prescribed curriculum, this book offers students a visual and exciting way to explore individually or in a group, the wonders of the Natural world. It encompasses basic needs of local plants and animals and how those basic needs are met within their environment. As well, it offers students a way to explore the interconnectedness of living things and how they work together in the cycle of life. By identifying what is essential for the survival of living species and the way in which each species may contribute to the environment as a whole, students and educators alike, can discuss, explore and conceptualize these further through art, writing, storytelling and drama. This book offers a foundation on which educators, parents and professionals can introduce the Environment to children and build achievement indicators through appropriate learning venues |
