Fifth Grade
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Restoring Connections team was given the opportunity to be adaptable and flexible in regards to environmental curricula. On account of stay-at-home orders, helping students find local and attainable connections with the natural environment became this year’s focal point. Restoring Connections curated six weeks of online material for grades K-5. This material was entirely aimed at creating a place-based familiarity with local environmental processes, ecology, flora, and fauna all while staying at home. Fostering an awareness and connection to nature will continue to be and always has been the mission of the Restoring Connections team. Students K-5 were taught through online Zoom lessons with the curriculum created by the 2020 team. These lessons can be found on the "Curriculum" page.
