After months of studying how water moves, making maps, and designing a rain garden, the students finally got to dig their shovels in the soil and begin landscaping their rain garden. They were so excited to begin and have kept that enthusiasm for the past few weeks as they accomplish their goals. Each work day, the students come together is discuss their designing ideas and then go off to do them. See how the garden has developed below:
For the students could design the rain garden, they explored the shape of the garden space and how it is being used by the students and school community. They worked on their map making skills by creating basic maps and then adding important information to it, such as human activity, water flow, shade, and sun.
