DECEMBER IS A PARTICULARLY GOOD MONTH TO COMBINE CULTURE & ECO VERDE ACTIVITIES in our world language classrooms as many celebrations unfortunately are marked by waste and excess. Educating our students at a young age to be more sustainable in their choices and actions is more important than ever, and allows us to integrate themes of social justice and environmental responsibility while also highlighting festivities in target language countries. Through out the month I will be posting photos to my Pinterest board 'Environment, Conservation & Recycling' under the section 'Eco verde Celebrations' which can be used to share as tips with your students & generate more conversation around this topic-I find my upper elementary students, in particular, are very interested and motivated to talk about ways to be environmental activists. Be sure to follow me on Pinterest & Instagram to see each tip as I post it!
