Fifth graders explored Ohio’s wildlife history during our Arts & Letters Module 1 extension activity with ODNR! 🦌🐻 Students learned how Ohio’s animal populations and habitats have changed over time and how habitat restoration supports balance in nature. They also connected their learning to how Native Americans historically used animals and plants for survival and how those relationships were impacted by environmental changes.





In Arts & Letters, Kindergarten, module 2, Once Upon a Farm, students explore various farm settings and stories. 🎨✏️ Yesterday, our young learners enjoyed listening to Hare & Tortoise then participated in drawing and labeling what they noticed. Such thoughtful little artists and storytellers in action! 🐢🐇



Thank you to Kendra Strawser, TVEF, and RIF for sharing the love of reading with our second graders! 📚 Students loved listening to the story and were so excited to choose a book of their own to take home and enjoy.
