CALENDAR IN THE CLASSROOM

Learning from Nature's Own Classroom

In its effort to secure synergistic partnerships, Jeffers Foundation recognized what a great resource the Freshwater Society Minnesota Weatherguide Environment™ Calendar could be and approached the Freshwater Society with a plan to utilize the Calendar as a teaching tool in schools across Minnesota.

Jeffers, in collaboration with Minnesota elementary teachers, developed a series of standards-based grade level lessons utilizing information and principles contained completely in the Calendar. With the help of an informative video, these lessons are presented in such a way that the generalist elementary teacher can teach real science with confidence and ease.

The Freshwater Society graciously provides Calendars to every teacher who uses the program.
