We are really looking forward to next week.. We have guest speakers lined up to come to talk to the 6th graders, Ken Creel (Alabama Cooperative Extension System) will be one of the featured speakers with his presentation titled "Why Snakes and Bugs are Good For the Environment"; Steve Jones is coming to teach Earthquake 101 and April Waltz (Alabama Wildlife Federation) will be talking about bird habitats. Students will also be painting Gourd Birdhouses to put in the OC. 6th, 7th and 8th grade students will be helping to build butterfly gardens, bird habitats.
My 6th grade students kicked off Earth Week by creating gourd birdhouses. They started Monday by priming the gourds, then Tuesday they painted the gourds (all in their own creative fashion) We were all so glad to be able to spend the first two days of Earth Week outside.
ReplyDeleteToday we celebrated Earth Week by learning more about Earthquakes. Mr. Steve Jones came to present Earthquakes 101 to all the 6th graders. He was very interesting and we look forward to working with Mr. Jones to build Seismograph at our school!
