Miss Fox's Class Goes Green
Erin P. said: The students have lots of questions when Miss Fox shows up to school on her bicycle. She tells her class that she is "going green." Her classroom, full of animal students, is inspired by her choice and they all come up with things they can do to make a positive difference for the environment. Eileen Spinelli's book is a great way to introduce simple ideas that even kids can implement in their own lives so that all of us can go green together!
