Charter SEED Days, formally known as "Ag Fun Days", are one thing that makes our school unique! SEED is an acronym for Seek, Explore, Experience and Discover. Throughout the school year there are afternoons scheduled where students work in multi-grade groups and rotate through 5 stations. Each SEED Day is based on a different agriculture and/or environmental theme. The stations are all hands-on and engaging for students to develop a deeper understanding of components of agriculture or the environment. Special guests and presenters often play an important role in these SEED Days as well. Students always get very excited to find out that a Charter SEED Day is coming up!
November 21st- "Willow Weavers and Market Projects"
These 2 stations are for the grade 6-9 students. Freyja from Half Moon Baskets graciously travelled to NHCS to teach students about using willow branches for projects. Freyja collects her own materials for these sessions which students found very cool! In the other station, students worked on their Market Project as they have an upcoming Christmas Market in December!
October 24th- "Thank a Farmer, Thank the Earth!"
Station 1: Resource Relay- Where do goods come from?
Station 2: Apple Scientists- Investigate different varieties of apples
Station 3: Farmers Wear Many Hats- an investigation of all the things a farmer does and the careers associated with farming/agriculture.
Station 4: Literacy- A collection of new books with the themes of apples, farming, harvest, being thankful
Station 5: Corn Catapult- This STEM activity will have students competing to see who can launch a corn seed the furthest!
These stations were primarily for grades 1-5. Because of Thanksgiving occurring this month these activities are loosely based off of that. Connections can be made to our FNMI monthly theme of "Honoring the Land".
