Pre-K Earth Day Resources

Dive deep into the fascinating world of plant biology with the 'Window Display Garden Kit: Lima Bean Growth Journey & Educational Journal'. This innovative educational tool is meticulously crafted to offer young learners a tangible and interactive way to explore the life cycle of plants, making it an indispensable resource for educators, homeschooling paren

ts, and science enthusiasts. Designed to captivate and educate, this kit bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world observation, providing a comprehensive learning experience that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for nature.

At the heart of this kit is the window display garden, a clear, easy-to-setup module that allows students to plant and observe the growth of lima beans in real-time. This transparent approach not only demystifies the process of germination and plant development but also engages students in a daily discovery journey, watching as seeds sprout roots, shoot up stems, and unfurl leaves, all in the comfort of their classroom or home.

Accompanying the window garden is the 'Educational Journal', a carefully designed workbook that guides students through each phase of the lima bean's growth. From germination to maturity, the journal is filled with prompts, questions, and activities tailored to encourage detailed observation and thoughtful reflection. It serves as a personal logbook where students can record data, sketch their observations, and note changes, fostering a scientific mindset and enhancing their understanding of plant biology.

The integration of this kit into learning environments supports key educational standards and objectives, making science accessible and enjoyable. It prompts discussions about photosynthesis, ecosystems, and the importance of plants to human life, tying into broader curriculum themes and encouraging interdisciplinary learning.

Imagine a world without people. What changes would occur? How would the earth evolve without the influence of mankind? "If We Were Gone: Imagining the World Without People" by John Coy, with illustrations by Natalie Capannelli, answers these intriguing questions. This engaging children's story paints the picture of an earth reverting back to its natural state of jungles and forests, engaging young minds in a thought-provoking reflection on humanity's impact on our world.

This story is an excellent read for earth day, or indeed any time of the year. It serves to educate children about our environment and encourages them to consider the importance of conservation and responsible living.

This 10-page resource is used to enhance learning and comprehension. This resource provides six coloring activity sheets suitable for a variety of grade ranges. These engaging activities are designed to stimulate creativity and understanding, while reinforcing the messages in the story.

For older students, there's a story element sheet, ideal for enhancing comprehension and deepening understanding of narrative elements. This worksheet encourages children to deconstruct the story, identifying key elements such as the setting, characters, and main point.

Also included is a writing prompt exercise, designed to encourage children to express their thoughts and ideas about the story. This activity is an excellent way for children to develop their writing and critical thinking skills.

Finally, there's a True/False quiz designed to test students' comprehension of the story. This fun quiz helps reinforce learning and provides teachers and parents with a tangible measure of understanding.

"If We Were Gone: Imagining the World Without People" is more than just a story; it's a powerful educational tool, designed to inspire children to learn about and appreciate the world around them. Through engaging activities and thought-provoking narrative, this book encourages children to reflect on their place in the world and their impact on the environment.

Directions:

-Colour the earth and one set of the activity badges

-attach black line versions of the badges two to each side of each piece of the band

-colour a badge as students earn the badges by completing the Earth Day activity: recycle plastic, turn off lights, composting, and putting things in the recycle bin
