  • CVHS Outdoor Classroom

    Funded Mar 16, 2021

    Thank you so much for your support of our outdoor classroom supplies! The mobile whiteboard has been so helpful. It's provided a surface for groups as well as supply storage.

    I've not only used it on our school's green roof but also in the classroom as a mobile surface to post project checklists and reminders. The storage between the boards has been great for storing project posters and other materials. The bins hold markers, erasers, and small tools as well!

    Your support has provided resources for my classroom in many ways and this is another instance where I was able to extend my classroom to the outdoors.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Ford

  • Outdoor Classroom on Your Computer

    Funded May 20, 2020

    Thank you for supporting the students in their expansion of the CVHS Sky Prairie outreach. The wireless microphone set up has been a steep learning curve for both myself and the students and, to be honest, we are still trying to work it all out. The virtual teaching has delayed many of our plans as students are only now starting to work on campus so we haven't had many hours using the equipment. The wireless microphone will be used in student interviews and to record guided tours of our school's greenspaces. This equipment is invaluable to those goals and we couldn't be where we are without your help. Being able to share the students' work with both the school and conservation community will increase our impact by more than 200% when all is said and done. These recordings will be forwarded to district personnel as well posted on the project social media accounts: Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Ford

    This classroom project was brought to life by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and one other donor.
Students in my Scientific Research & Design course have waited all year for their outdoor gardens, box turtle habitat, native prairie, and butterfly beds to grow and now they aren't able to be on campus to see their hard work in full bloom. This unique urban outdoor classroom also serves as a resource for my Pre-AP Biology students for topics such as natural selection and ecology. Because my students aren't able to see the school's Sky Prairie and other campus green spaces in person, I would like to bring the prairie and gardens to them. I currently have the tripod and an iPhone camera but I'm missing a strong wireless audio component. As I am outdoors in an urban environment, a wireless microphone would allow me to record clearer sound as well as create better quality presentations and freedom of movement. These videos would be uploaded to my class YouTube channel as well as to the course's online platform and EdPuzzle. These videos will also serve as tool for community partners and school families to learn and grow with us.
