My Students

My students are energetic, curious, and fun-loving. They enjoy being outside in our beautiful, rural New England town. They are a close-knit group who are deeply connected to their community and school. They love to learn and share their learning with others.

My Project

Preparing children to be informed, active citizens is one of the roles of education. The children of today will make decisions to protect our planet in the future. These nonfiction books about animals and helping the environment are an excellent way to spark students' interest in environmental activism. With books like No Monkeys, No Chocolate and What If Polar Bears Disappeared, students will be exposed to the ripple effect that can happen a single species became extinct. They will also learn about simple, but valuable steps to take to protect our planet.
