Parent Help Needed for 8th Grade Living Environment

/

The 8th grade Living Environment classes are hard at work designing self-sustaining ecosystems and science lesson plans for our partner elementary schools as part of Project Ecobuild! We are looking for some parent help with the following:

1) We will be visiting partner classrooms the week of 1/28. If you would be willing to take a small group of students (+ their ecosystem) to a partner school the week of 1/28, please let me know your day/time availabilities.

2) We need community evaluators for student projects on 1/21 and 1/22. You would be responsible for scoring 3-4 student projects after viewing a 15 minute presentation from each group. Time of presentations is TBD, until Regents-week schedule has been finalized. 

3) We are in search of some resources to obtain critters for our ecosystems, such as salamanders or other small reptiles, and large insects such as ladybugs/crickets/ants. If you know anyone/resources that may be able to provide these for free/cheap, please let us know!

Contact Chelsea for any of the following. The students and I would super appreciate the help!! Thanks in advance for the support.
