Help me give my students books about the importance of keeping our Earth green by reusing, reducing, and recycling materials.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Books about Earth and recycling are super important for my four and five year olds. Books help little ones understand the value of taking care of our planet early on. These books can introduce concepts like recycling, reducing waste, reusing materials, as well as protecting nature.
By reading these books, children can develop a sense of responsibility towards the environment and learn how their actions can make a positive impact.
Plus, colorful illustrations and simple language in these books make it easier for young children to grasp these ideas. So, sharing these books with preschoolers is a great way to plant the seeds of environmental awareness from a young age!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
