PROGRAM Animal Stories and Nature: (grades 3-4)

In this class, we will read a variety of fables, folk tales, fairy tales, and book-length stories about animals to see what they have to teach us about ourselves and how we should act in the world. We will supplement our reading by exploring how animals act in the wild and how we can help to protect them in a time of global climate change.

The class will use a combination of online and print sources. Students will be asked to read, discuss, write, and complete activities about the stories and what they can teach us.
