KIDS for the BAY collaborates with teachers to connect students with nature, inspire environmental action, turn students on to science, and create lasting impact.
Kindergarteners in teachers Sandrine Demathieu and Chris Luft’s classes at Nystrom Elementary School had the wonderful opportunity to walk from their school campus to nearby Unity Park on the Richmond Greenway. KIDS for the BAY (KftB) Educators were joined by volunteers from Urban Tilth who helped us to explore the Greenway Gardens and participate in a planting project, as part of our partnership with the Richmond Outdoors Coalition.
Students from John Muir Elementary School in Martinez walked from their school to Mountain View Park to get outside, connect with nature and take action for the environment.
Each of our student Environmentalists begins their KIDS for the BAY program with a Watershed Scavenger Hunt activity to help them connect with nature on their school campus and explore the wonders of their watershed. Third graders in Mr. Marco’s class at Lincoln Elementary School in Oakland couldn’t wait to get outside and explore the local watershed, right on their school campus!
