Who knew learning could be so fun?!? We did! Fourth grade had a fantastic day at the Watershed Protection Center.  Learning about our local watershed and how we can positively impact it was the perfect way to spend our Friday! We rotated between four stations where we examined and identified organisms in Slaughter Creek to test pollutant levels... participated in a creek scavenger hunt... interacted with a watershed model... and made seed balls to disperse on the property (I think we enjoyed the dispersing part best)! Well, if you really want to know what we liked best, here it is: Happy Weekend!  Mrs. Blake
