Grade 1
Students will learn about the Coqui frog; its habitat, physical features, sounds, and the importance to Puerto Rican culture. They will also learn how, in Puerto Rico, the Coqui population has been declining for years due to fungal bacteria, natural disasters, and human modifications, and that it is now considered endangered.

An essential part of the lesson is to help students see themselves as an active citizen in their communities; providing meaningful opportunities for students to learn about how to be involved in having an impact on concerns within their own communities. Students will take part in identifying issues in their communities that they feel need a positive change.
