On Monday during the beginning of our recess time, we worked in the CCES courtyard, pulling weeds. Fourth grade students do this as a service project for our school. We make sure the weeds are pulled and all the garbage is picked up in this area. A couple years ago, we applied for several grants (and got them) and collaborated with the high school FFA to remake our courtyard area so students could enjoy it and so it would be a nice place to read or have lunch and snack! We completed the project through our math and science content and learned so much about measurement, symmetry, budgets, and plant life!
