Ponds for Kids Event
On January 24,2009 you will see McNair Elementary students pitch in to build a beautiful 8'x11' naturally-balanced aquatic ecosystem pond. It will include lots of large, interesting boulders, many aquatic plants, a waterfall and stream, along with lots of fish, snails and maybe even a frog or two.
This event, which has been successful at many schools around the country, is called a Ponds for Kids event, and is a collaborative effort between McNair Elementary School and Backyard Concepts, LLC. During this event, the children provide the elbow gease, while Mike Marcom and crew will be on hand all day to direct traffic and ensure that all goes according to plan.
The fun and educational opportunities that come from a school having a water garden make a program like this well worth its effort. Who can turn down a safe aquatic research lab in their own courtyard? The teamwork and sense of satisfaction they will get from building something together is one of the best parts about this event. Plus, the students will leave a legacy for future students to enjoy and a piece of themselves they can return to anytime.
Teachers will have a hands-on classroom that will provide a unique learning experience. The Ponds for Kids program is designed to give children and young adults a working appreciation of nature and ecology. Teachers can also incoporate other areas such as art, math and measurements.
If your school would be interested in a Ponds for Kids event, please call or email us and we can set up a time to meet and discuss the different options.
Parents are also welcome to come with their children for this event!
