• If your class has not planted seeds, it's probably too late to do it and expect to have a harvest before frost. 

• Have you done the weed lesson with your class?    If not, that should be on your plan for this week.

• Did you (your coordinator) participate in the nature trail training? That may be what you want to do this week.  There are many trail lesson plans to guide you. If you are planning a trail walk, read the Trail Guidelines and review the Nature Trail Checklist. 

• If you have a first grade class that is studying spiders,this is a good time to find spiderwebs.  As it gets cooler, they will be harder to find. Tip from environmental educator, Jane Gonzales - take a spray bottle of water with you.  Gently spray the web to make it easy to see.

• Don't forget to record your volunteer hours and send an  e-mail report to Roberta.  Sample e-mail report.
• If you have not already done so, please complete and submit the volunteer application.
