Take a Walk through a Second Grader's Eyes

In the Fall Grade Two walkers will discover how Native Americans used plants to meet such needs as shelter, medicine, tools and toys. Later in the Fall they will study soil, its origins, the role of living things in making it and the importance of non-living things in soil. In winter, Grade Two walkers will study the different states of water.

Please check the walk schedule and the grade coordinator or classroom representative for details of when each walk takes place. Walk leaders should remember to recite Harrington's Big Backyard Mantra before each walk.
