Last week we started planning the outdoor garden by the high tunnel.  Every student created a garden based on the square footage of 1,595 sq. ft.  Yesterday and today we staked it out and cleaned it up!  We are also starting our Water Unit.  We will focus on the Lake Champlain Basin.  Students were able to choose from 4 Ecological Mysteries written by Jean Craighead George.  They read the first chapters today. They were so quiet and involved in their books!   Below are some videos of what we have been doing and a link to Jean Craighead George's website.
