Lesson 4: What We Can Do!
Handout 1

Sharing Our Learning Letter

Dear                               :

My class has been learning about citizenship. We have learned that as an American citizen, we have certain rights and responsibilities. One of those responsibilities is to protect and preserve our natural resources.

My assignment in Part One is to read my book, What We Can Do! to you. I must remember to use the words natural resources to describe air, water, soil and trees. We will work together to complete Part Two.

I hope you enjoy my presentation. This sheet needs to be returned to school on :

Sincerely,
