What children learn in Level 40
- Respect for others means treating people kindly and listening to them. Saying please and thank you shows respect.
- Respect for the environment means taking care of land, water, plants, and animals.
- Theodore Roosevelt protected forests and birds. George Washington Carver taught farmers to take care of their soil. Both showed respect for the environment.
- Tolerance means accepting people who are different from you: people who look, talk, eat, or pray differently.
- Today, Ruby Bridges teaches kids to accept people who are different. That's tolerance!
- Your turn! Sort them. Does each one show respect, or not?
- Try it with a grown-up! Learn about a holiday that another family celebrates. What is the same, and what is different?
