@Bousl2336873cb4 Absolutely true sir. Only a single step can make a difference . Today's most important issue that we all are facing is climate change.Here in my country Pakistan every year then summer is becoming more hot due to climate change. If I talk about whole world is facing climate change after effects will be true. We need to step forward little bit and and we can overcome the after effects. For that students should be given more awareness and do some energy saving activities . Even if we ask them to minimise the use of things that are hazard for environment so that we can contribute towards sustainable environment.
My suggestion could be like children in winter or summer holidays or vacations should be taken into online environment fun lovely activities everyday such as recycling the thing, or one day for saving energy to switch off the the electric things and spending nature walk to save energy. , similarly the plantation activities,growing seeds activity,water conservation activities etc.

RE: Activities and resources for teaching about Climate Change
Dear ma'am Ana . I have Searched some activities and resources for primary school students.
That may be beneficial for all teachers who teach science subject. Teaching climate change to primary school students can be both engaging and educational. Here are some activities and resources that can help:****Activities
Interactive Storytelling*Use stories and picture books that explain climate change in simple terms. Books like "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss can be a great start. Climate Change Art Projects* Have students create posters or drawings that depict the effects of climate change and ways to help the environment. Nature Walks and Observations Take students on nature walks to observe local flora and fauna. Discuss how climate change might affect these plants and animals. Recycling Projects Organize a recycling drive or craft projects using recycled materials to teach the importance of reducing waste. Simple Science Experiments Conduct experiments that demonstrate the greenhouse effect, such as using jars to show how heat is trapped. Gardening Start a school garden to teach students about plant growth, the importance of green spaces, and how plants can help combat climate change. Climate Change Games Use educational games and simulations that teach about climate change and environmental conservation. Resources Books "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss "The Magic School Bus and the Climate Challenge" by Joanna Cole "What is Climate Change?" by Gail Herman Websites NASA Climate Kids: Offers games, activities, and articles about climate change tailored for kids. National Geographic Kids: Provides articles, videos, and activities about the environment and climate change. EPA's A Student's Guide to Global Climate Change: Interactive website with information and activities. Videos YouTube Channels: Channels like SciShow Kids and National Geographic Kids have videos explaining climate change in a kid-friendly manner. Documentaries: Short documentaries like "Our Planet" (Netflix) have episodes suitable for children. Apps and Games Earth Rangers: An app that engages kids in missions to protect animals and the environment. WWF Together: An app that teaches kids about endangered species and conservation efforts. Lesson Plans Scholastic: Provides lesson plans and resources for teaching about the environment and climate change. Interactive Tools Climate Change Simulator: Simple online tools that allow students to see the impact of different actions on the climate. Carbon Footprint Calculators: Kid-friendly calculators that help students understand their own impact on the environment. Tips for Teaching Simplify Concepts: Use age-appropriate language and examples to explain complex concepts. Be Positive: Focus on solutions and actions that students can take to make a difference. These activities are really helpful for teachers in terms of resource management.

RE: How to become a Greener Teacher? (not the Grinch Teacher :)
To be a greener teacher we need to make our students the little green stars of environment. That means making our students able to do eco friendly work and the little practical approach to make our environment sustainable. Some of Idea could be,
1 ) students should be given a system of ranking in school with title of warrior against pollution.lets see who will keep the school and neighbourhood more clean and take actions against pollution.
2) working on energy saving activities at least once in a week .
3) celebrate once in a year then plantation day
To tag a plant with students name and nurture it by taking care of it when it grows it gives big contributions towards greening our environment.
The activities could be published so that all the schools should take initiative to make our environment sustainable.
The teacher along with little green stars can contribute to be a greener teacher.

RE: How to Help Students with Mix Abilities in Same Classroom?

RE: How to Help Students with Mix Abilities in Same Classroom?
@Sahar730dd459d2 hi , hope you are fine .
I think in every class we have individual differences that is every child is unique in his skills of learning . Some are slow learner some are fast some pupil are audio learners some are visual some are kinesthetics . Every child needs to require an appropriate approach. The lesson which is planned must have such approach that syncs with the need of every child. For instance lower to higher order of learning approaches . As far as I can inclusive setup there is one special education teacher and one normal education teacher is always there in our classrooms so that a childs needs must be fulfilled. So we design our annual and biannual syllabus according to it. -
RE: Ideas for you_Greening classrooms with EdTech solutions
I think we can organise digital timelines for event happend in history. It will help students to understand more better about historical events.
For digitalizing English can arrange a weekly programme of conversation by using computers
We can also arrange digital stories in morning assembly program in which student could be allowed to see a moral story on laptop or computers or mobile and that msg of morality should be integrated into all subjects. It will help in child moral development. -
RE: Bullying in educational establishments
Bullying can have profound impacts on a child's social and emotional development, affecting various aspects of their interpersonal skills and social interactions. Here are some key ways bullying influences a child's social development:
1.Trust Issues
- Victims of bullying often develop mistrust towards their peers and adults, making it difficult to form healthy, trusting relationships in the future.
-
Social Isolation
- Bullying can lead to social withdrawal and isolation as victims may avoid social interactions to escape further bullying. This isolation can impede the development of social skills and friendships.
-
Difficulty in Forming Relationships
- Children who are bullied may struggle with forming and maintaining friendships. They might find it hard to approach others, fearing rejection or further bullying.
-
Aggressive or Withdrawn Behavior
- Victims may become overly aggressive or defensive in social situations, mirroring the aggression they experienced, or they might become excessively shy and withdrawn.
-
Impaired Social Skills
- Bullying can hinder the development of essential social skills, such as empathy, communication, and conflict resolution. Victims may become less adept at navigating social situations.
-
Low Self-Esteem and Confidence
- Persistent bullying can erode a child's self-esteem and confidence, leading them to doubt their social worth and abilities. This can make social interactions more challenging and less rewarding.
However there are several more issues that could affect child's other factors of development infect too.
Here we can find some ideas how to deal with bullying in classrooms.

RE: Integrating 17 goals
@Vanny Hi Hope you are well
I just gone through your topic . I would like to add here that in my country teacher a Training often given to the Newly appointed teachers as well as in service training are given. SDG goals are the part of our training . These goals are also separately shared with students too to meet up with the 21 st century goals. As being teacher we have this responsibility to bring these goals into our normal classroom so that students can practically learn their advantages to society.in my ideas if we allocate each of the goal to the subject we teach it would rather be more beneficial life for instance all topics covered in science should I clued all the goals related to sustainable climate and greening education health related behaviour accomodated as well . The goal related to justice and strong institutions are covered in s.st subject may be in English language subjects . No poverty and zero hunger can be taught through activities done in ethics or valu education subjects to promote volunteer roles in society. -
