On May 17, BLM forester, Abe Wheeler, spent the afternoon with two Buckman Elementary kindergarten classes talking about the benefits of trees in the Pacific Northwest. The afternoon focused around learning about photosynthesis, the importance of carbon and oxygen, and replanting trees. When asked about the uses for trees the savvy kindergarteners quickly rattled off an impressive list of items including pencils, homes, cardboard, and of course – toilet paper.
After delving in to photosynthesis the kindergarteners listened intently to Abe’s reading of the Dr. Seuss classic, the Lorax. Wheeler explained both the benefits of forestry, as well as the potential downsides to overconsumption. The afternoon wrapped up with some good ol’-fashioned cutting and glue-sticking that allowed the kindergarteners to “cut” their own tree, build a house, and replant the trees that they had cut.
Buckman Elementary is an arts-focused school in Portland, Oregon. The classroom teachers, arts specialists, support staff and volunteers all work to nurture the whole child–intellectual, emotional, social, and physical–using a variety of teaching strategies. Notably, staff use a multiple-intelligence approach working with students’ verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical-rhythmic, bodily-kinetic, visual-spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist and existentialist intelligences.
Special thanks to Buckman Elementary kindergarten teachers Ms. Miles and Ms. Crozier who helped make the day of forestry possible.

The elementary school opened at 3252 N. Broadway in 1892. John J. Flanders was the architect. The school has had three additions.
Enrollment continued to decline by the beginning of the 21st century, falling to 380 in 2002. Thanks to efforts by mothers and Principal Susan Kurland, enrollment reached 632 in 7 years and test scores rose significantly as neighborhood families chose to send their children to Nettlehorst.

It's unusual. Des Moines Public School yards are mostly vacant during this Covid-19 closure. Students are learning from their classrooms (remotely) during this time of quarantine. While these sites may seem empty, they remind us of human interaction that normally would be.

Amelia Earhart Elementary School in the Provo District held its second annual Read-a-Thon on Thursday, December 8, 2011. The goal of the Read-a-Thon is to have one adult read to every child in the school for a half an hour. Parents were joined by community volunteers, including members of the school and district staff, the Provo School Board, the Provo mayor, city employees, police officers, a legislator and Utah Superintendent of Public Instruction Larry K. Shumway.
The event shows students that reading is important and their parents and members of the community care about their education. It's also an opportunity to encourage adults to take time to read to the children in their lives. The volunteers also received tips on how to read to children.
Here are the Amelia Earhart Elementary Read-Aloud Commandments:
1. Spend at least 10 wildly happy minutes every single day reading aloud.
2. Read at least three stories a day; it may be the same story three times. Children need to hear a thousand stories before they can begin to learn to read.
3. Read aloud with animation. Listen to your own voice and don't be dull, flat, or boring. Hang loose and be loud, have fun, and laugh a lot!
4. Read with joy and enjoyment; real enjoyment for yourself and great joy for the listeners.
5. Read the stories that the kids love, over and over and over again. And always read in the same "tune" for each book, with the same intonations on each page, each time.
6. Let children hear lots of language by talking to them constantly about the pictures, or anything else connected to the book; or sing any old song that you remember; or say nursery rhymes in a bouncy way; or be noisy together doing clapping games.
7. Look for rhyme, rhythm, or repetition in books for young children, and make sure the books are really short.
8. Play games with the things that you and the child see on the page, such as letting kids finish rhymes, and finding the letters that start with the child's name and yours, remembering that it's never work; it's always a fabulous game.
9. Never ever teach reading, or get tense around books.
10. Read aloud every day because you just love being with your child, not just because it's the right thing to do. This is as important for fathers as it is for mothers!
