I would like to start graphing our observations from nature.  (One idea is to graph temperature, and lizard sightings to see if there is a correlation.)

1. graphing (math)
2. literature groups using small sections from some books that the Ss have read and revisit those sections to look at the science
3. env justice debates

I like the idea of using a nature journal. I was able to do a DonorsChoose.org project and will be using the one pictured above. I am hoping to use picture books with the different sections in this journal.

Support learning about the importance of place when learning about environmental literacy. Imagine the land before people. Learn about the history of who was here before you. No matter where someone is recognize the importance that each person has a special outdoors spot that matters to them.

Student-created investigations and engineering tasks. Students often find these FUN to write about, and as they puzzle-solve, they become DESPERATE to read about their topic.

Using nature journaling as a prewriting process can help my students during the writing process. Each year my grade level conducts a common formative writing assessment on trees. How can a nature journal pre-write help my students during the writing assessment?

Three ways I would like to integrate Environmental Literacy into my program is starting a garden. Which can help work on math skills (measuring height or how much water intake plants need), responsibility (making sure the plants are being watered and checked on) also teamwork (everyone is held accountable for the garden it is a team project). Another way is Outside Group Talks (by taking a group of kids to an outside area in which their is no distractions for students to talk about feelings and a safe space for them). Lastly Journaling I feel personally is very beneficial for students it gives those who don't feel comfortable with speaking out loud a way to express themselves whether that be words or drawings.

This year I have been far more purposeful in incorporating the idea of systems into students understanding of how things work. A large part of science is understanding how parts of a system interact and influence other parts of that system.

In this Just-in-Time video from WGBH, systems educator Linda Booth Sweeney considers what is a system and what's not, what systems do, and why understanding systems is important. Systems and systems models are a cross-cutting concept in the Next Generation Science Standards. This resource is part of the Systems Literacy Collection.
