A River Runs Through It

Fifth graders enjoy trip to Grass River Natural Area

October 03, 2008

The fifth grade classes have been lucky enough to go to Grass River Natural Area in Bellaire during the last week of September and the first week of October. Classes used various measurement tools to calculate the oxygen levels of the rivers and also the speed and water flow of each of three locations along the river. Once each of nine groups were done collecting data they shared their information with the other groups.

As always the naturalists and their teaching helpers were very knowledgeable and shared their excitement of the love nature. How fortunate we are to have such beauty just outside our window!
 
Ms. Wildfong's group stopped off at Freedom Park in Rapid City for lunch, fun, nature walks, and continued appreciation of our local rivers.  They were joined by seven parent chaperones who also enjoyed the day's events.
 
We have to thank all those who sold wrapping paper for Cherry Street Intermediate last year, as those funds paid for the buses!
