Blue River Watershed

On November 2nd, 2015 people from Blue River Watershed came in and taught fifth grade about the blue river. When one of the people came in she had a mini plastic display of a town except with 2 houses, the building that takes out all of the gross stuff out of the water,and the last building was the building that cleans and purifies the water so we can drink water, take a bath or shower, and wash dishes with clean water. As she was teaching she taught us what rain does to the ground if you use too much fertilizer or if you don't clean up their dog’s poop. She used kool-aid and hot chocolate to represent the feces, urine and dirt. On November 4th she came back and we got to use chemicals and test tubes. So far we have had a lot of fun when she comes in and we hope we keep having fun as she comes in until November 6th then it will be the last day. :(
