Change Is Simple
This year, we have the pleasure of working with Change is Simple. Change is Simple's mission is to educate individuals on the connections between environmental and human health. They seek to inspire and empower an entire generation of environmentally literate citizens. This week, Change is Simple visited students in fourth, fifth and sixth grade at Proctor School working to educate our community.
This year, our fourth grade will focus on environmental science: what makes up our environment and how all animals, humans and plants are interdependent. This week, grade 4 students explored endangered species using a giant world map. The students traveled all over the globe to learn about the habitats of endangered species, human impacts and ways to help.
The year long focus for fifth grade is sustainability and how humans and communities interact and impact the environment. This week, grade 5 students explored energy, where it comes from and how to measure and conserve it by conducting classroom energy audits.
The sixth grade will engage in workshops that highlight the connections between environment and health. This week, the grade 6 students explored the impacts of food traveling the globe through measurement and conversion and the carbon emissions, nutrient and community impacts of eating local.
