People and Our Earth [[image:imagesCAK2YL8D.jpg]]
Lesson Overview: Our earth is our responsibility. We must take care of our environment and this includes plants and animals.

Join the conversation: If you saw a wounded dog or cat, what would you do? include component="comments" page="Social Studies Matters" limit="20" Inspector New Word: wounded- injuried, hurt by or suffering from a wound. A wound is an injury to the body.

Take a minute to think: "All life on earth depends on plants to provide food, shelter and oxygen for other living things." What would happen if we did not take care of our plants and suddenly they were gone? Quote retrieved from: []

Remember: Laws are like rules. Just as we follow rules in our classroom we must follow laws. There are laws to protect animals. Without them someone could hurt an animal without any consequences. Inspector new word: consequence-the outcome of an event or action.

1. What are some consequences you face when you don't follow rules at home or at school? List them in your homework folder.

2. Create two rules or laws you want people to follow to care for our earth. Write them in your homework folder. Ask your parents for help!
