Montessori Care of the Environment and Earth: In a Montessori classroom we foster our students
to show love for the environment, we help children connect and engage with nature, and encourage
the child to interact with the environment, exhibiting respect and love.
Our earth should be protected so its precious resources are available to us for many years to come.
It is never too early to start teaching children the importance of keeping our planet clean. With a
little guidance and supervision, they can get creative helping and celebrating the earth. Little steps
can lead to big changes.
Teach your children the importance of keeping the earth and their home environments clean with
these easy activities:
* Sorting recycling materials. * Picking up garbage in the neighborhood. * Shopping with reusable
tote bags. * Reducing waste and buying in bulk. * Shopping at farmer’s markets & buy local
produce. * Growing your own vegetables. * Composting. * Walking or riding your bike to school. *
Pay attention to how you use water. * Turn off the lights when you leave the room. * Use
biodegradable products. * Stop using plastic whenever possible. * Plant a tree!
