The units that we are encouraged to buid and explore with the students enriches what the stuents are learning by giving them real world applications with content knowledge practices embedded.

Cher Megasko She/her

I love learning about our Earth and sharing that knowledge with everyone I meet. If you're between three and 103, you're my favorite audience! My two favorite areas of environmental education - both to learn about and teach - are foraging for wild edible plants and entomophagy (the practice of eating bugs!). That's right ... I eat bugs!
