We had a guest presenter from the Ecology Action Center, Kris Hall, join all the third grade classes today! She talked to the class about the water cycle, where our drinking water comes from, pollution, and ways that we can prevent pollution. She started out by having all three third grade classes together for a discussion and her lesson. Then she had each class go to a different room for a demonstration of pollution and its effect on our drinking water.
We then read an old article about the Deep Water Horizon oil spill of 2010. We had a great discussion about how changes in the environment effect lots of plants and animals. I traveled to the Gulf of Mexico after the oil spill of 2010 and was able to share pictures from the spill with the kids.
