Second Grade

Curriculum Overview

 The Wild Wanderers Second grade team facilitated three classroom lessons and one field trip to a diverse range of Elementary schools across Lane County. These lessons provided an overarching theme of biodiversity within Douglas Fir Forests. We focused on focal species in our lessons that included the Douglas-fir, Stellers Jay, Pacific Wren, and Oregon Grape. Our field trip provided second graders with hands-on experiential learning in a local Douglas Fir forest: Mount Pisgah Arboretum. Through lessons about symbiotic relationships, the layers of a forest, and scientific observations, our second-grade classrooms gained empathy for the natural world, instilling students with a passion for environmental stewardship.
