Student's Cornucopia Projects on Display During Open House
This past week student's Cornucopia journals, environmental art projects, and a selection of our unique environmental education lessons where on display at Juan Cabrillo Elementary School's Open House. Below are a few photos from the open house display.

Ms. Scheer and Ms. Thorne's 2nd grade students pounded flowers from Cornucopia's Potpourri Patch onto watercolor paper creating stunning works of art.
The Day in the Life of an Earthworm, creative writing by Ms. Rowland's 4th and 5th grade students.
Ms. Levy's third grade students had a lesson unit on The Ecological Footprint. Each student made their own set of footprints out of rocks and pebbles.
Ms. Matthews 4th and 5th grade students studied math in nature throughout the year. A few of the topics included measuring and mapping the garden, counting tree stumps while learning about ratios, and lines of symmetry in nature.
The Cornucopia Foundation thanks all of the teachers and staff at Juan Cabrillo Elementary School for opening up their campus and allowing us to showcase the wonderful achievements of that their students accomplished while at the Environmental Learning Center.
The final few weeks of classes at the ELC will be spent tending to our garden and enjoying a spring harvest of beets, strawberries, carrots, and garlic.
