Jan 20 - I Need Some Medicine
Agenda:
1 Read 30 mins
2 Next week is fun lunch and pajama day. Please check the "Worth Mentioning" email for details.
Highlights
What did you learn today?
We learned about the medicinal uses and other uses of plants that the Blackfoot people would have used them for. We pretended we were ethnobotanists.
How did you show what you learned?
We had a book that had information about the plants in our WW. We got a card with symptoms. We had to research which plant might be used to cure the symptoms on the card. We then had to find the plant and sketch the plant and place it on our map in our field journals. We also had to add some jot notes about the uses for each plant in our journals.
What do you need to learn next?
We need to re-sketch the different plants in the different seasons. It would be interesting to research if some of these plants are used still for humans today. We need to research more about how plants grow (or don't grow) in the different seasons.

2 Retreat Day - bring $ again if you want
3 POTW - due Friday
4 Scholastic - Jan 20
Highlights
What did you learn today?
We learned how to make our own cleaning product that is from natural ingredients. This is good for our environment because the chemicals from other cleaners won't get into our water system, traditional cleaners pollute our air and it is less expensive.
How did you show what you learned?
We did experiments with different items, like a mirror with toothpaste, muddy wood floor and coffee on carpet and a tray with lard. We tested different natural ingredients to see which worked best. Ask me what they were.
What do you need to learn next?
