Visit by the Iowa State Conservation Station

Today we enjoyed a visit by the Iowa State Conservation Station.  They visited the third, fourth, and fifth grade classrooms to teach about Iowa's native ecosystems, the living things that need them, dangers to these habitats, and ways we can practice conservation to help protect the ecosystems.  It was a beautiful afternoon, so we got to have an outdoor classroom as we learned more about conservation.  We also participated in several activities including wetland hopscotch and a "Creature Cache" card game.  Be sure to ask your student about it!  Below are some photos of this special presentation.  Thank you Mrs. Fravel for setting up this great learning opportunity!
