This term we completed 3 fall/winter adventure cycles. The seasonal topic was titled “Trees - Tools of Human Survival” and the guiding question was “What trees can help me stay warm in the winter and what are their names?” – Students learned 2-5 different tree species names and worked on collaboration and problem solving. The activities were designed to emphasize decision making, group goals, taking turns, leadership and conflict resolution. The student norms are “Playing Hard”, “Playing Fair”, “Playing Safe”. Our classroom is the Eco-Garden and the Jordan River Nature Study Area near the Day Riverside Library. We learned the names of a couple native and invasive species and made or repaired shelters from willow branches along the Jordan River and thatched roofs of the 2nd and 3rd grade dens.
