Description
Learn with planet Earth as the guide! Children ages 3-5 will discover important facts about the planet they call home through entertaining images that preschoolers and kindergartners will want to read again and again. Imaginative illustrations and easy to follow facts make this an excellent book for young learners.
I Am Earth introduces kids to the basic concepts of Earth science while also encouraging the importance of taking care of our special planet through environmental awareness and sustainability. Keeping Earth a happy healthy place to live, is important for everyone big and small. In this Earth science book for beginners, kids learn what makes our planet so uniquely special and how people can work together to keep it a healthy home.
Understanding our resources and how to protect and recycle them is a first step to protecting the Earth. In I Am Earth, kids are introduced to basic concepts about the special planet they live on through easy to understand space science and astronomy facts, while also learning steps to take for recycling and green living.
Concepts are geared toward preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade learners. From the spinning and tilting that brings in the seasons to the gravity that keeps everything from floating off into space, I Am Earth connects children to the world they are part of, and how the environment affects all living things within it. Everyday occurrences are illustrated like night and day, snowfall and rainfall, along with the abundance that Earth provides which helps children notice and understand these important things happening around them.
A basic understanding of Earth being part of a bigger solar neighborhood is introduced at an age-appropriate level for comprehension of beginning level space science and astronomy. As unique as Earth is in the greater universe, so is each individual life that lives on this precious planet. Children can connect this uniqueness to the importance of protecting it and making each and every day, Earth Day.
I Am Earth is a great way to start children at an early age to care for the environment by understanding why the environment is so important and what they can do to help keep nature in balance, like recycle, reuse and conserve. For all living creatures that call planet Earth home, every day is Earth Day!
A great learning tool for the traditional, homeschool, and Montessori classrooms. I Am Earth sets the stage for independent and scientific learning by helping children notice and think about cycles and events they see every day. Questions at the end of the book revisit topics and encourage children to think deeper on what they’ve learned. Large images and words make it easy to follow along when reading aloud.
