October Update

The fourth graders at Empire Elementary are planning a fall trip to Big Basin State Park to see some of the oldest living things on our planet. Our trip is sponsored by the Save the Redwoods League, who know how important it is to truly experience these giants of California.

To prepare for our trip we are learning about Redwood Ecology through the California State Parks program PORTS. We are taking a virtual field trip next Tuesday to Humboldt State Park to learn about the producers, consumers, and decomposers that make the redwood ecosystem their home.
