Mean Green Learning Machines!

I am all about this winter's lead story on School Librarian's Workshop online*. It is centered around elementary school aged children researching current global environmental issues and what they can potentially do about it. Not only does it educate the children that there is a problem, but it helps their self-esteem and researching skills by making them active participants in the solution. What's not to love? If you are working with this age-group and are environmentally conscious, I definitely recommend you read this workshop and incorporate it into your lesson plans. Perhaps around Earth Day? Or maybe Earth Hour?
