Creek Water to Drinking Water

For the next month, students will be making daily trips to the local creek to gather water.  Students have created a biosand water filter that they are testing out.  It takes 2+ weeks for the biological layer of the filter to become established.  Once established, this layer will clean the bad bacteria that is found in the creek water.  Students have been working hard on this project and have been having fun along the way.

Miss DeTavernier's Last Week

This is the last week that Miss DeTavernier will be in our social studies class.  I have been encouraging students to make a card or letter to give to Miss D. on Friday.  Another way to thank Miss D. is to add a positive comment to this blog post. 
  • Tell her something that you remember.
  • Tell her what you liked about her teaching. 
  • Find your own way to say thanks.
