This\u00a0year\u00a0Seward Elementary was\u00a0fortunate enough to be able to participate in a grant funded program facilitated by one of our local (and favorite) National Parks Rangers – Ranger CJ Rea. This is the second year of participation\u00a0for Tara Swanson\u2019s 5th<\/sup>\u00a0grade class.\u00a0The programs and curriculum are rooted in scientific observation and inquiry based on the nature journal curriculum, “John Muir’s Laws”.\u00a0 The\u00a05th graders were able to collaborate and share about their experiences with a 5th grade classroom in Florida led by retired KPBSD teacher Terri Carter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the many activities in this unique program, this year 3rd grade instructors,\u00a0Elizabeth Jones and Erin Flowers,\u00a0along with\u00a0Tara Swanson\u00a0and Ranger CJ,\u00a0were able to coordinate a field trip to one of our local beaches,\u00a0Afognak\u00a0Beach,\u00a0for further exploration and group journaling. This program is instrumental to student growth and learning, engaging authentically with the world around them through a lens of observation and thoughtful questioning techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
