This term we completed 3 late summer adventure cycles. The case study was titled “Edible Forest” and the guiding question was “what can I eat out here and how do I know?” – with the guiding principle “Information; Evaluate; Decide”. The activities were designed to emphasize creating a community, cooperation, communication and conflict resolution. Students know this as “Playing Hard”, “Playing Fair”, “Play Safe”. Our classroom is the Eco-Garden and the Jordan River Nature Study Area near the Day Riverside Library. We learned how to harvest and care for the edible forest near the library and began native plant identification. We also made “Sumac-Aid” from aromatic sumac bushes in the nature study area and ate grapes, plums, peaches, pears, fennel, onions and garlic from the eco-garden.
