Barnie
the Crab Curriculum
A fun way to teach elementary-school students
about the Barnegat Bay Watershed
Thanks to a grant from
the Trust for Public Land’s Barnegat
Bay Environmental Grant Fund, the BBWEF has created an entertaining
and educational curriculum for students in
kindergarten through third grade. Consisting of 12 lesson plans
and supporting handout
materials, this innovative program teaches
kids about the importance of the Barnegat Bay Watershed and
related environmental and cultural
issues.
To further promote excitement
and enthusiasm, the Watershed Foundation also offers a teacher
loan kit that
includes Barnie
the Crab costume props and a Barnie
the Crab character cutout photo prop. It is hoped that students will bring their fun photos
home and share with their parents the value of protecting Barnegat
Bay’s natural resources.
The goal of this project is foster an environmental ethic in
all citizens of the watershed, beginning with our young schoolchildren.
