Donkey Visits Munson
A recent visitor brought learning to life for students at Munson Elementary School. First-grade students have been reading “Waiting for the Biblioburro,” a story about a traveling librarian who brings books to children throughout Columbia on the backs of his two donkeys.
On Sept. 19, students were visited by Shaggy, a 21-year-old donkey, and his owner Mel Milliron from the Donkey and Mule Association of the Western Reserve.
Mr. Milliron answered student questions about raising donkeys and helped them make real-life connections to what they have been reading.
Outdoor Stream Field Study
On Sept. 19, students in the college credit plus Biology 1170 course at Chardon High School began their outdoor stream field study.
The goal of the study is to construct a stream transect; to measure stream conditions, abiotic factors, flow rates and volume; and to examine how these factors influence biodiversity.
“Students set pit traps and leaf traps to gather aquatic/terrestrial insects for biodiversity data,” science teacher Rebecca Schneider said.
