The Sunnyside Environmental School will explore the relationship between land and culture through an integrated social studies cirriculum that embodies the study of geography. Students are given multiple opportunities to discover how the environment has impacted the culture and how the culture has impacted the environment, Through storytelling, art history, scientific inquiry, the media and community volunteers will come to know and celebrate the diverse lands and peoples of earth. This exploration of culture will allow students to inquire about issues of justice, peace, poverty and sustainable environment. Children will have opportunities to use academic skills to solve real world problems through developmentally appropriate service learning.
