DID YOU KNOW... UAS BROUGHT OUTDOOR LEARNING TO OVER 735 STUDENTS IN OCTOBER?!
We completed field experiences with eight partner schools for Nature Near Schools, a program funded by the D.C Dept. of Energy and Environment that brings watershed education to 4th graders at Title I schools across the District. PK-5th grade students at C.W. Harris Elementary School in Ward 7 investigated leaf shape and tree identification during our first monthly visit of the school year, as part of our Building a Culture of Outdoor Learning partnership. And during three full-day out-of-school time programs when DCPS was closed, students hiked, created zines, learned about the Nacotchtank Native Americans, and conducted a stream study.
THE EASTERN RED-BACKED SALAMANDER: OFFICIAL AMPHIBIAN OF D.C.? Check out the testimony of UAS Founder and Executive Director Elana Mintz, who voices her support for this incredible environmental education effort started by DCPS elementary school students. Click here to read.
