Dear Contact Person,
I am writing to request your support
for a very valuable addition to our curriculum. As a sixth
grade teacher at King school, I am introducing some innovative
activates in my classroom. I have implemented the district's
environmental education curriculum in my class. This
curriculum has specific goals and objectives, but also allows for
flexibility in activities.
Environmental education is an
excellent way to help my students meet the state standards they are
required to achieve by the end of sixth grade. Through
engaging EE activities, my students have become more involved in
their own education. It is exciting to see my students so
interested in what we are doing. Long division is intertwined
with social studies during a population growth analysis activity.
Wisconsin academic standards related to reading comprehension and
current issues are achieved by analyzing newspaper articles related
to environmental issues.
I have chosen to take an
interdisciplinary approach to education by integrating environmental
education into my classroom. A continuation of this approach
would be a class visit to Frog Pond Outdoor School, where
interdisciplinary, cooperative, and hands-on learning are
emphasized--a perfect fit with the approach I am using with my
class. The Outdoor School Program meets multiple sixth grade
objectives, which I could not achieve as quickly or as thoroughly in
a traditional classroom setting. I believe that it would be a
wise use of time and energy for our class to attend.
On behalf of my class, I am
requesting that your organization consider sponsoring our visit to
Frog Pond Outdoor School. My class and I are interested in
sharing the benefits that come from a visit to Outdoor School
with your group. We would like to make a presentation to your
organization so that you may see the educational impact this
approach has had on the students. The class will also be
requesting the financial support they need to attend Frog Pond
Outdoor School in Outdoorland, Wisconsin.
I will be contacting you to discuss
the possibility of their presentation. We thank you in advance
for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Your name and signature
