I think that if I was to address an issue in my Grade 1 class, I would look at the destruction of natural environment and how mankind has affected that.
1-1-14/B5: Show respect for living things in their immediate environment
1) Fort Whyte Alive Field Trip
By taking them on a field trip to a designated area that contains elements of the natural environment, students can appreciate the habitats of their favorite animals. Students will be able to better grasp the needs of these animals and develop compassion and want to help save the environments.
2) Little Earth Charter DVD
Showing students this DVD will demonstrate the eight basic principles needed to coexist with animals and the natural environment. Also this DVD will introduce the concepts of human rights and in turn can be related to the rights of animals in our community.
3) Demonstrations of Man-Made Occurrences that Impact the Natural Environment
By either conducting a hands-on investigation or showing pictures/video of a recent event, students will be able to connect the affects of mankind and the resources we take for granted to the impact those actions have on certain animals and their habitats. Students' compassion for the natural environment will continue to grow.
By introducing those three resources and others students' will grasp the concepts of protect our natural environment, not only for the animals that live in them but for ourselves. Students will recognize that they have to rely on the natural environment as much as the animals, creating a deeper compassion and connection between the two worlds.
