On Thursday, students continued their learning about community. This week's focus was on mapping and learning how to navigate around town. Students looked carefully at google maps to plan an alternate route to Harrison Field. Before embarking on this adventure, first graders walked up to VEDA to get a birds eye view of our school from above. INQUIRE with your child how we navigated our way to Harrison Forest. Once we arrived on the ridge line of the forest, we learned about erosion and the importance of descending the hillside in a zigzag fashion, as to not make the erosion worse. We ended our afternoon with two stories told by Ken about a beaver, bear, and raccoon!
