Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had some discussion questions
that they have found worked well for the documentary. We
teach grade 7.
Thanks you.

Hello Fellow Educators,
Wild Studies is offering a week-long eco-education
adventure for educators and their adult friends (18 years
or older) on Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas May 29-June
4. No previous outdoor skills are necessary. Just bring a
positive attitude and we will teach you the rest. The
program is tailored to the group's interest and skill
levels, this is not a cookie cutter experience.
Snorkel over coral reefs, learn about tropical ocean
ecology, participate in reef and fish monitoring, meander
through a 3-level tidal cave, explore your own private
beach, see places only the locals know....and earn
graduate credit, too!

Hi all,
I am a Chicago Public School librarian and this summer I
will be visiting Mongolia for a class I am taking through
Earth Expeditions.
This project has an art component called the Wild Art
Project . Basically they are looking for children's artwork
(using bold rich colors) and/ or art supplies.
Some of you might work with kids or a need an "Earth Day"
project....
and others of you just know a lot of people, like to be
helpful, or know others who would be interested ! :)
I would love to take over any artwork that you might come
up with or any art supply donations that you want to give.
Feel free to pass this along to whoever else might like to
participate! The more the merrier, and it is seems pretty
easy to help!
If at all possible, nature is the theme for any artwork,
but kids artwork is usually cute!
(email or post for my address!)
(or if you are in chicago area I could always arrange for
it to be picked up!)
Below is the posted info.
Thanks!

The Wild Art Project & Art Supplies
The Wild Art Project...Due: May 12, 2008
'The Wild Art Project' was designed in 2006 to establish a
simple, sustainable program that allows kids and educators
to make a difference.
This spring and summer, we will create and collect artwork
from children in the U.S. and in Field Expedition countries
to create a dialogue -- celebrating children's
relationships with nature.
This summer, we will focus on sharing US artwork and
delivering art supplies to our international partners. A
fun idea is to share some of your students' artwork with
children in the country you will be visiting.
Bold, rich colors should be used in the creation of artwork
for this project (no colored pencils, graphite pencils, or
watercolor paints). Appropriate art supplies include:
*crayons (press hard as light shading will not show up
well)
*markers
*paints (not watercolor)
*paintbrushes
*blank, white drawing/painting paper
(donated supplies will remain in-country)
Once we return to the U.S., we will organize and showcase
this artwork on our Earth Expeditions website, at the
Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, as well as other
international venues. Some images from last year's course
have been transformed into greeting cards that are on sale
at the Cincinnati Zoo! Income from sales will enable more
educators to participate in Earth Expeditions courses and
help our global partners' conservation efforts.
Please Note: * If you have other art materials you feel
students would appreciate, feel free to take those as well,
including construction paper, pencils, modeling clay, etc.

There are quite a few crafts and plenty of other ideas for
Earth Day. Thanks!

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.

My kids are eco-warriors and just got interested in this
competition with DoSomething and BKFK to design advertising
campaigns for social issues. Does anyone know anything about
these companies? Thanks.
