In the Keep Oklahoma Beautiful Classroom, you will find activities that both engage the student/child and give the instructor/parent an opportunity to teach about the importance of “green” practices.
The KOB Classroom is broken down into seasonal activities, a piece about Earth day coupled with fun and relevant projects, as well as a list of 50 things YOU can do to improve your earth!
From a rainy day inside to when the sunshine brings light to a picnic, there is always time to share with the next generation how what they do can impact life in Oklahoma and beyond. This section was designed to give you the resources to do just that
