Why Teach Humane Education in the Classroom?

Humane Education delves into something that kids love – animals! The OHS Humane Education program:

  • Promotes and encourages character development by fostering respect and empathy toward people, animals and the environment
  • Assists children in developing compassion, a sense of justice, and respect for the value of all living beings
  • Provides the knowledge and understanding necessary for children to resolve conflict situations and make responsible choices
  • Fosters a sense of responsibility in each child to make choices and act on their own behalf

Our Free Online Teacher Resource Kit for Kindergarten classrooms is designed to provide teachers with multiple humane education learning tools that will help students learn in fun, interactive ways.

The Online Kindergarten Resource Kit includes:

  • Kindergarten Resource Kit Learning Plan
  • Kindergarten Resource Kit Rubric
  • The “Let’s Learn About Cats and Dogs” Lesson Script and accompanying pictures
  • Colouring Sheets
  • “Teach My Person How to Love Me” Audio File – Created by the Lakes Animal Friendship Society
  • “Make a Puppy Face” Craft Activity – Created by the International Fund for Animal Welfare
  • “Circle of Caring” Activity – Created by HEART
