In the first story, animals cooperate to clean up a polluted pond. In subsequent stories, they care for each other in the aftermath of the pollution problem, demonstrating strength of character and social responsibility. This book can be used in elementary schools to teach—through storytelling—the value of personal strengths and community supports while incorporating Tsimshian language and knowledge into classroom lessons. It also provides many opportunities to extend the learning to other curriculum areas, including science, math, reading, writing, social studies, and art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\"This teaching resource uses storytelling as a way to impart knowledge and initiate discussions and activities that support social and emotional learning.” – \u003cem\u003eCanadian Teacher Magazine, Spring 2023 issue\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducator Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecommended for use with grades 1 to 6 (elementary students).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything educators need is included in this single work -- contemporary Indigenous stories to read aloud and explore with students, as well as story guides, a map, plant information pages, suggestions for classroom activities, discussion questions, inquiry activities, talking together points, information to support intergenerational or peer-to-peer learning, and connections to the Core Competencies and social and emotional learning (SEL) competencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e32 Pages | 8.5\" x 11\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strong Nations Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48669791748265,"sku":"9781771745970","price":16.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0171\/3536\/files\/9848.coming-soon-animals-care-for-mother-earth.main.4xk8yffq4o_1.webp?v=1789667801","url":"https:\/\/www.umista.ca\/products\/animals-care-for-mother-earth-a-teaching-resource-for-personal-development","provider":"U'mista Cultural Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
