Educational Materials Created with Scholastic
Dear Parents and Teachers,
Malaria No More, in conjunction with Scholastic Inc. and with the generous support of Abbott Fund, has developed FREE "Make Your Mark" educational materials, targeted at Grades 1, and Grades 5 and 6.
The Grade 1 materials focus on how kids can help kids—both near and far—and make a mark on the larger world, especially in Africa's fight to control malaria. This material includes Nets Are Nice (PDF), a storybook with a foreword by Laura W. Bush that teaches children about malaria and Africa, and helps inspire compassion. Also included are easy to follow lesson plans, family activities, and useful fact sheets.
Download Grades 5 and 6 materials to learn more about malaria, Africa's fight to control the disease, how to make connections with African students, what other kids are doing to make a difference on malaria and other important issues—at home and abroad. Learn how you can turn compassion into action and be part of the solution!
