Unit Overview
Through the book Miss Rumphius, the children learn that caring for the environment is an act of philanthropy. The children explore ways they can make the environment more beautiful with their time and talent.
Service Experience
Brainstorm possible service projects for the environment that make the world more beautiful. This may include planting, weeding, cleaning garbage out of a natural place, bringing potted plants to people, or doing something unrelated to flowers.
