Lots of learing at Desert Willow!

Wow! What a great group of kids today! Over 150 first graders all learning about the ocean and its amazing creatures! Our second year presenting to the kids at Desert Willow! The kids asked some really interesting questions at the end of the hour including “why do you love the ocean animals soo much?” which made me pause… how to explain that?!?!  But hopefully that love helped to inspire some of those kids to protect the oceans!

     Thanks to Ms. Watson for setting up our presentation! We look forward to coming back soon! And thanks to Michael Schrantz for volunteering again and helping make the presentation a lot of fun!

Lots of fun today as we visited the 5th graders over at Laguna Elementary School! We were able to go through “Our Amazing Oceans” in the one hour format (had to speed up just a little!) and the kids all followed along just fine! Many of them knew a lot of basic ocean information already! That is so encouraging considering how far removed from the ocean we are here in the Southwest! Mrs. Hawes is doing a great job! Thanks for getting us set up and we look forward to coming back to Laguna!

Working with the 3rd graders!

Great presentation at Schumaker this morning! 3rd grade classes combined together for a totally good group! Lots of great questions that led to little discussions on sharks, ecology and saving the planet! We look forward to coming back to Schumaker soon!
