Teachers.Net has taken the work out of searching for Earth
Day lesson plans and activities by gathering the best of its
best in the April issue of the Teachers.Net Gazette. (LINK
BELOW)
Teachers and school administrators looking for creative,
meaningful and easy to implement activities to make Earth
Day 2008 educational and enjoyable for their preschool,
kindergarten, elementary and upper grade students will find
a plethora of ideas in the Featured Lessons and Resources
section of the current Teachers.Net Gazette.
From a list of primary grade books and corresponding
activities, to rainforest theme activities, to an earth
measuring activity and instructions for making paper in the
classroom, educators will find enough to fill a lesson plan
book with cross-curricular activities incorporating math,
science, art, reading, games, skits, poems, and songs.
In addition to Earth Day lesson plans, educators will find
transcripts of idea-gathering chats where teachers proudly
shared their most successful Earth Day and ecology classroom
activities. Transcript titles include Earth Day Activities;
Going Buggy! An Insect Theme Activities; April Theme
Activities; Earth/Eco Books Annotated List; recycling
Activities; Teaching Map Skills, and more.
