Nature School - Roberts Creek School - November 2005 - Bev Craig's Grade 2/3 class

During the week of November 14th, 2005, Bev Craig's Grade 2/3 class from Roberts Creek School came to the Ruby Lake Lagoon Nature Reserve to participate in the Lagoon Society's innovative new Nature School Program. Ms. Craig and two student teachers brought the class to the Iris Griffith Interpretive Centre every day for the entire week and used the beautiful new cedar log building as their classroom. The two student teachers, Rita Joe and Bronwyn Thomson, used Nature School as a catalyst for a long-term study focusing on animal and plant life cycles, one of the B.C. curriculum science topics. They were assisted by Lagoon Society Program Coordinators, Georgia Ohm and Lee Ann Ennis and Nature School Coordinator, Dr. Gillian Kydd.
