On
March 1, 2007 second graders in Mrs. Colombo and Mrs. Ryan’s class at
Mary E. Silveria School in San Rafael worked hard at pulling out
blackberry roots on Spring Hill in Terra Linda to make room for willow
trees. |
 |
Students and parents worked together to clear the
area of invasive blackberry. |

This project helped us understand the
importance of restoring our natural environment.
We carried it over to the classroom with our watershed and salmon
life cycle studies. Students
learned to do research on the computer, read books and articles and then
create a project to present their findings to the class.

Thank you to the entire STRAW team for
helping us with this very worthwhile project and for teaching us to be
stewards of the earth. This
is the project that the students remember long after leaving second grade.
