Environmental Reading Program
Each April & May, Williamson Recycles/Keep Williamson Beautiful sponsors Environmental Reading for kindergarten classes to celebrate Earth Day! Volunteers read environmentally-themed books to promote environmental education and litter prevention awareness.
Environmental Reading Demonstration
Click here to WATCH a demonstration of the Environmental Reading Program presented by Westwood Elementary School’s wonderful Green Team and filmed by our great partner WC-TV!
Note: Since filming, the program has shifted from 2nd grade curriculum to kindergarten science curriculum! Williamson County’s Environmental Reading Program is correlated to the WCS science scope and sequence and is science curriculum specialist approved!
