Ever think you’re too young to make a big difference? Think again! You can do plenty to keep the environment healthy and safe right in your own neighborhood! This issue shines the light on litter, and what you can do to “dispose” of the litter problem. Learn why it’s unsafe—and uncool—to toss that wrapper, leave behind plastic after your picnic lunch or how birthday balloons can turn into a hazard for animals that share our forests, streams and oceans. Be the exterminator who wipes out litterbugs!
In this issue students will:
- read expository text about an environmental problem and solution
- use context clues to select vocabulary that makes sense when “close reading”
- understand civic duty to recycle and dispose of waste responsibly
- use the newspaper to calculate purchases and search for homonyms
- practice creative writing from the teacher’s point of view
