Extractions: T ips for teachers, parents and kids on how to live "greener" everyday lives. Contact me at Teachgreen@aol.com Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I will answer your questions on how to bring environmental studies into the classroom, how to deepen our environmental awareness and how to live more "green". I'll suggest seasonal activities that can help our children get closer to nature and give suggestions on how to encourage them to be loving caretakers of our great planet earth. I want to encourage our children (and ourselves) to fall in love with nature. When you love something, you will take care of it. I look forward to hearing from teachers and parents about environmental projects that you've done that have been successful. E-mail me at Teachgreen@AOL.com and I'll share with others what you are doing. Also, I want to hear from Kids! E-mail your poems and stories about nature, ecology and our great Planet Earth, to Teachgreen@aol.com and I will share your feelings with other kids in the Earth Patrol Kids section at the end of this site.
