Wildlife
Wild animals aren’t just in documentaries and far-off jungles; they’re in our own backyards. From squirrels to ladybugs, wildlife is all around us—if we take time to notice. By starting small, like safely rescuing an insect stranded in the classroom, students learn to see, appreciate, and protect the wildlife they encounter every day. We show teachers fun ways to inspire students to care about the animals around them, because a little awareness can open up a whole new world of wonder and create a lifetime of compassion.
