GREEN program

This Earth Force thing seems pretty cool and I would encourage you guys to check it out (especially you middle school teachers). The process seems relatively simple and would be a very personal activity for students as it would be looking in their own back yards. Arlington Public Schools has had some good success with it and HB Woodlawn won a Presidential award last year!

Watershed Education

I hope everybody got a chance to peruse the weblinks Matt and I put on our watershed education presentation. I know most of us (all of us?) do not directly deal with environmental science but there are plenty of opportunities for staff development (licensure points) during the summer months plus other small projects that would be useful after SOLs or even on those days we need a break from our normal routine. Since we're all almost done with our degrees (hopefully) it's an opportunity to branch out and become involved in something new and different. One of the links is to environment grants available to teachers and schools. This could be an untapped resource and a way to get money for your classes or for the environmental club at your school.

Thanks

Thanks for hearing me out and providing some feedback on my thoughts on collaborative wikis. It was good to get some other views, as my ideas can get pie-in-the-sky without lots of data.

Hope GalAXy hut was fun!

Stream Corridor

Donna and Nancy, both of you did great job in your presentation. Though I was not physically present at the site but viewing your powerpoint provides me with crystal clear ideas about stream corridor.

You two are very informative . Excellent resource for AP Bio./ IB Bio. and Environmental courses.
Keep up the good work!

Having hard time to post

Hello Everyone,
I will miss all the fun stuff today in the watershed class. See you all in the next class. Enjoy your meeting at Zachary Taylor Run Park. I went to Donaldson Run on Saturday, June 28. I really enjoyed the day at Donaldson Run with my family.
