While most students spent the summer free of homework, some teachers were hard at work on an assignment.
A group of elementary school teachers in the Mt. Lebanon School District received a state grant to brainstorm ways to infuse environmentalism into the existing science curriculum, and they gathered around a conference table earlier this month to share the fruits of their labor.
A standard second-grade unit on "changes," for example, could include a lesson on recycling, which could carry over into other subject areas, said Jefferson Elementary School teacher Debi Mercier. "The idea of the environment isn't something that's only in science. It has a direct connection with social studies."
