    Children and Air Pollution

    Children face special risks from air pollution because their lungs are growing and because they are so active and breathe in a great deal of air.

    Just like the arms and legs, the largest portion of a child’s lungs will grow long after he or she is born. Eighty percent of their tiny air sacs develop after birth. Those sacs, called the alveoli, are where the life-sustaining transfer of oxygen to the blood takes place. The lungs and their alveoli aren’t fully grown until children become adults. In addition, the body’s defenses that help adults fight off infections are still developing in young bodies. Children have more respiratory infections than adults, which also seems to increase their susceptibility to air pollution.

    Furthermore, children don’t behave like adults, and their behavior also affects their vulnerability. They are outside for longer periods and are usually more active when outdoors. Consequently, they inhale more polluted outdoor air than adults typically do.

  • Loveland first-graders: Will Hillenbrand is happy when he draws

    Loveland first-graders: Will Hillenbrand is happy when he draws


     


     

    Collaborative story written by Jennifer Miller’s first-grade class at the Loveland Primary School,
    Will Hillenbrand visited Jen Miller’s 1st grade class to teach her students how he writes and illustrates his famous children’s books.

    Loveland, Ohio – Will Hillenbrand is an author and illustrator. Will is a story-teller. He draws and writes. Will draws what he dreams and imagines. He is happy when he draws.

    Will uses tape, his magic pencils, and glue to create. His studio is in Terrace Park, Ohio.

    Will’s art makes me happy.


    EDITOR’S NOTE ABOUT THIS STORY:

    Will Hillenbrand is a nationally acclaimed illustrator of children’s literature. After first-grade teacher, Ms. Miller found out Hillenbrand was coming to visit the Loveland Primary School to tell students how he writes and illustrates his famous children’s books, he was asked if he would make a special visit to her class and take part in their on-going writing collaborative with Loveland Magazine. The children used the time to write notes about the author – to use for writing their own story and also showed Hillenbrand how they are taught in the classroom to write stories.

    The class visited the office of Loveland Magazine later that month to jointly write a story about Hillenbrand. The story above is the culmination of the lesson plan on writing and how newspapers can be a tool for telling stories about events in the community.


     

    The photos below were taken while the students were at Loveland Magazine to work on the story they have published.

    Below those photos is the art the children created using the skills they learned from Hillenbrand to help tell their story.
