Grade Five
Bullying: Pets and Peers Gr. 4-6 (NEW!)
Students will discover the many similarities between bullying and animal cruelty by comparing the motivations and causes behind aggressive behavior. This interactive, empathy building program includes real case studies and group activities which allow students to express their opinions, practice negotiation strategies, consider different perspectives, and perceive abuse from the viewpoint of the victim. We also discuss the importance of recognizing and reporting all forms of abuse and distribute contact numbers of local service agencies. Alberta Learning Curriculum Connections
Reptiles and Amphibians (NEW!) Gr. 3 and Gr. 5
Yes the slimy and scaly creatures need attention too. With the recent popularity of reptiles and amphibians in the pet trade it is important that parents and children understand the ins and outs of the animal family member being adopted into their home. This program educates students on the difference between wild and domestic animals, on the various reptiles and amphibians found in Alberta, and the popular reptiles in the pet trade today. We take a look at the needs of these unique creatures and some of the conservation efforts and laws that are out there to protect the wild populations. This presentation includes a PowerPoint and interactive activity. Alberta Learning Curriculum Connections
