Welcome to Our One Earth for elementary students! In this class, we will explore the importance of taking care of our planet and how we can all help protect our planet. This is an ongoing class, and students can jump in and out at any time during the year.

Throughout the course, we will learn about various environmental issues such as pollution, climate change, and deforestation. We will also discuss the impact of these issues on our planet and the living beings that call it home.

We will take a hands-on approach to learning by engaging in activities and group discussions that demonstrate how we can reduce our footprint and make sustainable choices in our everyday lives. We will also learn about the importance of conservation and the role we can play in protecting our planet for future generations.

By the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of the importance of sustainability and how they can take action to care for the earth. They will leave the class with practical tips and tools for making a positive impact on the environment and the world around us.

Content has been acquired for this class from NASA, National Geographic, Lego, and Crayola. We will also be using Nearpod for lessons.
