Earth Day 2021

Living Green is a concept which has been around since the middle ages, yet humans still have not mastered the practice. By teaching children small changes in their daily lives, over time, big changes can be seen. We can teach even our youngest children to turn out the lights, throw away their trash, reuse cups, re-wear pajamas, and appreciate the outdoors. 

Kids can draw on both sides of a piece of paper, turn off water when brushing their teeth, unplug an unused lamp, pick up trash in the park, recycle bottles and other plastics or donate toys and clothing.

 What a fun project it would be to teach composting to students with leftover lunch food and then grow their own vegetables or fruit with the compost. Living green is a lifestyle often taught by modeling.

Changing habits to a green lifestyle can be difficult and a slow change but with inspired children anything is possible.

April 2021 Books to Enjoy!

Children who love to read are destined to never stop learning. From books of Easter bunny egg hunts to learning the commonalities of frogs, sharks, and chickens being oviparous animals, children who read: learn. The books this month will teach the complexities of climate change and how children can make changes to impact climate and the Earth. Others will surprise students in teaching how oviparous animals reproduce. All books are timeless with age but these books are appropriate for K-2nd readers.

April 2021 Products!

Welcome to April and hopefully SPRING! It is this time of year when we are all itching to be outside, creating the perfect opportunity to learn about Earth Day, climate change, insects, and, in the spirit of Easter, oviparous animals. Teaching our children to appreciate the environment around them, plants the seeds for growing children who will care for our Earth and all of its inhabitants. Students love hands-on activities such as I have provided below teaching of Earth Day, climate and its changes, oviparous animals, insects, and lastly, military children in honor of the month of the military child. 

Happy Easter from TheBeezyTeacher 

 

Women's History Month

Eleanor Roosevelt, Oprah Winfrey, Amelia Earhart, Sojourner Truth, Greta Thunberg, Mala Yousafzai, and most recently Kamala Harris are just a few among many women celebrated for their dedication to making a change in society for the betterment of everyone. To learn of Kamala Harris’ journey of making many significant contributions throughout her life in public service and now become the first woman Vice President of the United States, it is merely impossible to not be inspired. 

Teaching of the accomplishments of women despite their many adversities opens the eyes of young generations of girls to possibilities, ideas, and new expectations. We can and should use our histories to inspire children to make changes to fight for a better world.

 

March Reads!

“Top O’ The Morning to Ya”!It’s definitely a month to celebrate!  In March, we get to learn about Irish traditions with St. Patrick’s Day and celebrate the history of amazing women who have changed the world for the better with Women’s History month. The books this month will teach of these histories to promote learning, growth, and fun. These books are appropriate for K-2nd readers but, we all know, books are loved across all ages.
