Getting dirty with good soil

Our 2nd graders were able to meet worm friends from the Metro Composting with Worms program today. This is a free program for all schools in the Portland Metro region.  The students were able to connect the steps of the compost cycle and were experts on how to create a healthy habitat for the worms!

The salmon are coming! the salmon are coming!

Have you heard about Salmon in the Classroom? Woodlawn is lucky to be able to participate in this program with the US Fish and Wildlife Service  While it's mainly geared toward 4th graders, all Woodlawn kids have the opportunity to watch the salmon hatch and grow.
