I used to teach once a week at an elementary school back home. It was mostly for kids from low-income families who could barely read/write/do basic math. It was a really rewarding experience seeing them finally grasp concepts and apply them and get really excited to be learning! As for environmental education, I did try two weeks of very basic awareness lessons about being environmentally conscious!
