Upper Credit Humane Society, Erin Ontario
The Education Committee, part of the Upper Credit Humane Society, is looking for a retired elementary teacher, with primary level experience, who would enjoy planning and presenting Ontario Curriculum based lessons about animals, to preschool, kindergarten - grade 4, and community groups such as the Girl Guides. This person would be assisted by 2 other committee members, but the presentation portion is this individual's responsibility. Topics include pet care and animal safety. Both Halton and Wellington schools are included for possible school visits. This person should enjoy interacting with children using games, stories, and concrete materials such as felt boards, to enhance student learning.
