It was a very reduced group this week due to the flu, but we still got quite a few things done. As usual during our winter sessions, bird feeders were topped off and we even installed a new one that was donated by Olivia's family. We also left a tray of bird seed packages for teachers to grab in the staff lounge. Several groups of EcoRaiders were tasked with writing letters to their teachers to remind them to have the class take the CCS Nature Pledge. The pledge is part of the CCS Green Seal certificate which classes earn when they have shown a commitment to learning about, and protecting the environment. Two other groups interviewed our AppState helpers: Jess and Jordan.
We had a few warm, dry days, so we went around making sure that our flowers and winter vegetables were watered and checked on our birdhouses for any signs of tenants. No signs yet. We also took out some big rocks from the garden plot, to start prepping it for Blooms & Buzz Day. To prepare for Mr. Jacob, who will be at EcoRaiders next week to talk about solar energy, we did a role play outside on the basketball court to simulate how a solar panel works. The ping pong walls are the photos, the kids electrons, see if you can figure out what else is going on!
