This term we continued basic map making of the Jordan River between 1000N and 700N. The seasonal topic is titled “Ancient Navigation and Map Making” and the guiding question was “where am I and how do I know?”. We revised the rough drafts of our maps focusing on complexity, craftsmanship or beauty, and authenticity. We also introduced Geocaching and the activities were designed to emphasize creating individual goals, stating needs, encouragement/support, fear/anxiety, success/failure. 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 continued contributing 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.
