K-2 teachers are under increased pressures to spend more and more time on reading and math content, often at the expense of time spent in science and social studies instruction. Curious KIDSS (Kindling Inquiry and Discovery in Science and Social Studies), generously funded by a grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's Ohio Environmental Education Fund, aims to increase science and social studies content in grades K-2.
By introducing an interdisciplinary approach building on Growing Up WILD activities, teachers will be able to further integrate science, mathematics, social studies, and literacy (vocabulary, writing, text selection) content. Growing Up WILD provides a unique platform to help teachers use hands-on, interactive lessons that allow students access to the outdoors to experience these integrated lessons in a real life setting. |
