The Everglades Comes Alive!

Gifted Frameworks- Research & Exploration, Leadership, Examination of Knowledge, Project& Performance

Wow, so much has been going on in our study of the Everglades. Check out the top of the 2nd floor stairs to see our awesome Everglades bulletin board.

Our school is very lucky to be located near Shingle Creek which is the headwaters to the Everglades. All of the Gifted Frogs even got to go to a field study workshop at Tibet-Butler Preserve, and experience part of the Everglades right down the street from the school. We learned about the animals that inhabit the Everglades, and even got to see a few of them. We also collect water samples, and compare and charted what we found in them. Boy were there a lot of animals in that water that just looked like water to us!  5th Grade did a service project planting native Florida plants in the plant area.

Check out all the excitement we had in learning about the Everglades.
