ECO EXCELLENCE

We are certainly living up to the Ecoschoolhouse vision with our ecology learning right now.
In reading, students are writing ecology connections to the plot of their book for their Ecoliterature diorama.
In writing, students are choosing ecology topics to write research based opinions on.
In science, we are already taking data on our chard plants and we have a bee presentation on Thursday.

Student thoughts:
Allen noticed more plants are growing in the worm soil.  In fact, 11/24 pods of vermicompost pods are sprouting, 8/24 pods of the mix are sprouting, and only 3/24 pods of the seed starter are sprouting. Check out the way we used grids to locate sprouts in our plant trays by clicking on the Gardens as Ecosystems link.

Jordan N wants folks to know a 6th grade counselor from Gentry came today to help us start choosing classes for 6th grade!

These students are sorting through research for their opinion writing. There are links to the topics and the research to the right.
