Audience

Our classmates give us feedback about our work. Aubrey shows a map of our classroom. Can you find where these students would be on the map?

Pollution is No Joke

Teams used a variety of plans and tools to remove pollution from a natural resource (water). Everyone agreed that it was messy and difficult. Everyone also agreed that they had fun, but could not get rid of all of the pollution. 

Getting Rid of Pollution

We worked together in small groups to remove oil and other pollution from water.

Welcome chicks!

Here is our first chick. Aubrey invented a new word today: cugly (pronounced cyoogly). It means cute and ugly at the same time.

Oil Boom

Fire Captain Huff showed us materials used to clean pollution from water and land.

Chicken Eggs

We are incubating chicken eggs. Today we "candled" the eggs and found life inside. 

Vegetable Garden

Planting vegetables with Mrs. Huff.
