Kentucky Poison Control Center's Teacher's Guide

Download our Teacher's Guide.

This guide was developed for an elementary classroom with exercises appropriate for pre-school, kindergarten, and grades 1, 2, and 3.  The guide consists of five lessons which can be integrated into the current curriculum or can stand as a separate unit.  Since this guide can be used across a wide spectrum of student abilities, the supplemental exercises may be implemented where/when necessary.  For older students, independent research as well as creating writing and cooperative group work may be added.  The lessons have been tied into Kentucky’s Core Content for Assessment version 4.1.
