In honor of Earth Day and previous posts about helping children to experience nature, check out the new Environmental Education Toolkit for Early Childhood Family Education Programs. The toolkit is for ECFE programs and is produced by Hennepin County and Community POWER.
The toolkit:
--follows Minnesota's Parent Education Core Curriculum;
--was written by experienced ECFE leaders;
--includes detailed lesson plans and resources;
--is flexible and can be modified to fit many programs;
ECFE programs in Hennepin County may also request $3,000 to implement activities from the toolkit in the coming year. A short application is due May 8, 2008. Funded projects can take place June 15, 2008 to June 30, 2009.
I hope the toolkit will be useful to everyone, not just ECFE programs. I'd love to hear what you think about it. Check it out with a free download and leave your thoughts in the comments.
