This term we explored and began basic map making of the Jordan River between 1000N and 1200N. The case study is titled “Ancient Navigation and Map Making” and the guiding question was “where am I and how do I know?” The activities were designed to emphasize creating a community, cooperation, communication and conflict resolution. Students are practicing this through the 6th-8th grade adventure norms “Be Here”, “Be Safe”, “Be Honest”, “Set Goals” and “Let Go and Move On”. Our outdoor classroom is the Eco-Garden and the Jordan River Nature Study Area near the Day Riverside Library. We contributed to our community acting as the official Salt Lake City Adopt a Spot Partners for the Jordan river from 700N-1000N. We are working on making maps of the area and we do monthly trash clean ups, homeless outreach and data collection of river and trail use for the city.
