Lost Treasurestm |
Mr. Kahler is
currently the Lost Treasurestm
Program Development Coordinator for The
Institute for Earth Education.
Lost Treasurestm
is an earth education program for 8-9 year olds (3rd &
4th grade US) based in and around the school with excursions to museums,
zoos, arboretums, parks, vacant lots, nature centers or similar places
within the community. |
|
|
Each classroom receives a full set of activity
props including a treasure chest and large story book.
|
 | Lost Treasures is a two year program
with weekly components throughout two full school years.
|
| The program is usually facilitated
by an outdoor center or an education officer, and is primarily teacher
led.
|
| Successful program pilots have been
conducted in Canada, Australia, the UK and US. We
need new pilot sites in the US. Please contact me if you are
interested in piloting this exciting new earth education program. |
|
Our goal for Lost
Treasures is to instill in youngsters a sense of wonder and care for
plants, animals, and minerals, to introduce them to the magical places
where those things are found together, and to help them champion both the
members of the kingdoms and the lands in which they live.
