Kids’ thoughts on Climate Change

We’ve been spending much of our time on Fridays reading about and discussing jtopics related to Climate change. We’ve looked at waste and recycling. We’ve explored questions we have about all the terms that come up  like fossil fuels and the greenhouse effect. We have found some helpful information, but we also keep coming up with new questions.

It is interesting (asn sometimes confusing) that so many different topics, ideas and opinions come up when we talk about Climate Change. I think it is important, especially given how heated discussions on this topic can become, that we make it a habit to be curious about what others are thinking and feeling. And if I am going to ask students to be curious about others’ thoughts, I think I should begin by showing that I am interested in what students are thinking and feeling.

So, I am asking: what do you think about most when you think about Climate Change; how does it make you feel; what questions do you still have; and what action do you think you should take?
