Sabino Canyon Goes Virtual Leave a comment
Teaching Elementary School Students Geology in Sabino Canyon (January 2019)
Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists (SCVN) stopped offering their Elementary School Nature program in March of 2020 because of the pandemic. Since teachers are no longer able to bring their students to the canyon, SCVN has begun creating a series of videos, Sabino Canyon, The Canyon Classroom, and placed them on YouTube.
Several videos have been created to date. The most recent one is Harvester Ants.

Second Grade Student Searching for Creek Critters in Sabino Creek — Images by kenne
Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists (SCVN) offer five different programs for elementary school children. One of the programs is called Creek Scene Investigation (CSI). In this program students learn about arthropods found in Sabino Creek. They learn about metamorphosis, the food chain and have an opportunity to collect insects out of the creek and investigate what they find.

“An environment-based education movement
at all levels of education
will help students realize that school
isn’t supposed to be a polite form of incarceration,
but a portal to the wider world.”

“Now You See It” — Fun Facts Leave a comment
The morning sun
Warms the benches.
Picture this,
If you can.
Now you see it,
Now you don’t.
Blinding in
Is the game.
Listen while I tell
you a fun fact.
This box
Is a hard seat.
I love setting
down on the job.
