Share Smokey Bear’s Five Rules for Wildfire Prevention! It’s easy – simply integrate this exciting, hands-on program into your existing curriculum.

Once complete, students will be able to apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts. Students will be able to adjust their use of spoken, written, and visual language (e.g., conventions, style, vocabulary) to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes.

Students will learn about organisms and environments, distinguish between natural objects and objects made by humans, and learn about personal health and changes in environments. Students will also work on their skills of being able to examine changes in the relationship between people, places, and environments and developing a personal identity in the context of families, peers, schools, and communities.
