Today my Sixth Grade Geography students used books and packets about the Vikings to write songs or poems. Their task was to include at least 10 historic facts to teach the class. I continue to hope for our Rural Trust grant to Iceland where I can bring back my experience to share and inspire my sturdent during this lesson for the beginning of our Canada History Unit!
We are two middle school teachers, Susan and Terri, working toward a fellowship experience traveling to Iceland to learn more about Environmental place-based education. We are applying for funding and have reached out to Landvernd, Iceland's Environmental Agency, through a Skype meeting earlier this week. We met two wonderful associates who would be happy to help us learn more about Iceland's Eco Schools and their projects involving soil restoration and sustainable tourism in their fragile geothermal areas.
