7-8 Grade Term 4 Seasonal Topic Malama Honua, Navigation and Geocaches: This term we focused on service work and healthy risks 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”. We made a final product of our Geo-Cache maps and descriptions and played ecology games from Coyote Mentoring that involved eliminating eye sight to deepen our sense of smell and hearing. 7th Graders went canoeing on the Jordan River and 8th Graders traveled to Lagoon Physics Day as part of the Mind of the Navigator Travel Learning Program focused on “Who am I (6th) Who am I in the Community (7th) and Who am I as a Leader (8th). Our outdoor classroom is the Eco-Garden and the Jordan River Nature Study Area near the Day Riverside Library. We also continued contributing to our community acting as the official Salt Lake City Adopt a Spot Partners for the Jordan river from 700N-1000N monthly trash clean ups, homeless outreach and data collection of river and trail use for the city.
