October 1st Field Trip- Parents Needed
On October 1st from 9 am to noon, Room 8 will be attending an 'in school' field trip with Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation. We will start the day in the classroom and then walk across the street to the Shaganappi gully for the program. This outreach program is called "Forest Explore" and it directly relates to our Science learning and the Science curriculum of "Trees and Forests". The following description was taken from their website: http://www.crossconservation.org/education-participants/education-programs/Outreach-Programs#explore
"Explore the value of forests to wildlife and humans. Use a dichotomous key and real tree and shrub samples to identify a mystery plant to cure your ‘ailment’. Count rings on tree cookies and investigate various tree measurements. Take on the roles of forest animals with food chain and habitat games and debate the importance of forests to you."
We need parent volunteers, with valid security clearances, to help make this experience a success. Please let Ms. Hurst know if you are able to volunteer. We'd love your help.
Thanks!
