Course Name: Using Children's Nonfiction in PreK-2nd Grade Science
Location: Western Illinois University Moline Campus, Moline
Date: May 2, 2015
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Join us for this workshop dedicated to showing early childhood educators (grades prekindergarten through three) how you can use children's nonfiction to help your students learn about Illinois fish and wildlife while meeting Common Core State Standards that emphasize nonfiction. We'll investigate field guides and incorporate resources from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) as well. Poetry from "science poets" will be discussed, and we'll demonstrate how children can make an informational book, using observations and the field guides. Led by Dr. Jean Mendoza of the University of Illinois' Illinois Early Learning Project, you'll take away resources, ideas and experiences that can be incorporated instantly into your curriculum. This workshop is part of the ENTICE (Environment and Nature Training Institute for Conservation Education) program from the IDNR. Register at https://www.enticeworkshops.
