This fall we have focused our curriculum around water. We started with understanding the concept of watersheds. Then Nicole taught us a new song about the water cycle while playing her banjo. We talked about bacteria in the water and how our lakes and rivers can become polluted. We made boats out of natural materials and sailed them across the pond. This week will be our last Friday before our two week break and we will finish the unit with a bang! The students made watershed models in preparation for Shanti Sellz to come talk about sustainable farming practices. You may know her as the farmer at Muddy Miss Farms but now she is Johnson County's local foods coordinator. We are so excited to hear what she has to teach us about improving our watersheds!
Prairie Green is trying something new this year. Every Friday we are outside all day! How fun...right?! Yes, this fall has been very fun and we are so lucky to have such beautiful weather. There was only one day that it rained on us. However, we were prepared and made temporary shelters before it started raining so we had a dry cozy spot to eat lunch.
