Make a Promise. Make a Difference.

As part of our expedition on how humans influence nature, my students decided that they wanted to do something to help the various living creatures they learned about in Colorado. Despite being only seven and eight year olds, they thought that they could make a difference by pledging to promise to always be a positive influence and not a negative. They created the below video to spread the word and encourage others to be aware of the impact humans have on the environment. It's been shared by the US Fish and Wildlife Mountain Prairie Region and the National Black Footed Ferret Conservation Center Facebook Pages! 

The link to its location on youtube is below as well. Help my second graders spread the word by sharing the video with your friends and family!
