Soil and Water Conservation Field Trip

This week our class traveled to Ottawa for the annual 5th grade Soil and Water Conservation field trip. We visited Ellerbrock's dairy farm and the Ottawa Park. The class moved around 10 different stations learning about different ways to improve their environment and to gain an understanding of conservation. The following is a list of presentations that the class participated in:

• birds of prey
• 4H
• reduce, reuse, and recycle
• rivers and erosion
• animals that live in our region (beaver, skunk, coyote,...)
• forestry
• edible bugs
• soils in Putnam County
• corn
• tour of a dairy barn

Daily Reading

Each day after first recess we read a few chapters from the book, Winn Dixie. This realistic fiction is filled with humor, sadness, and joy. A young girl named Opal rescues a stray dog named Winn Dixie. Opal makes some new friends and finds out that she is not so lonely any more.

Hunter, Cameron, Danny, and Dylan follow along in the book while enjoying their afternoon snack.

Quinley reads a chapter of Winn Dixie to the class.
