At the site, students tested water samples for salinity, turbidity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH levels. Upon returning to campus, students compared results from the local water source with our own water on campus.

Students learned the basic process and vocabulary by making foam prints. Once they have this process down, they will learn how to make a reduction, monotype, and collagraph print which will involve more complicated cutting and play with color, style, and texture.

Kindergarten students took on a leadership role and invited Pre-kindergarten friends to join them in a scavenger hunt they created on campus this morning. K and Pre-K students paired up and worked together to find natural objects. Some items on the list were easy to find while others, such as a chestnut or pine cone, were harder because they can only be found on specific areas of the playground. Leadership opportunities give students a voice, build relationships and help develop organizational and communication skills.
