Teacher's Corner!

The Teacher's Corner at Green Fork is a new feature where tips, ideas, thoughts, and projects geared toward the classroom will be highlighted. This area is meant to serve all formal teachers, K-12, and is also intended to be an area not only where ideas can be shared, but also where questions can be asked. For instance, Plant Anatomy 101: Potatoes was originally inspired from a teacher whom Andree' and I met at an outreach event. She wanted to know if we knew if a potato was a vegetable or not. We didn't know an exact answer, as potatoes are a bit tricky, so Plant Anatomy 101 was born. The Teacher's Corner will feature all kinds of interactive project ideas to get your kids thinking and will have suggestions to help teachers integrate environmental education into their classrooms. Have a question about something, or even an idea for a project to tell other teachers about? Let us know and we will follow-up on the feedback you give us!

And don't worry, the Teacher's Corner isn't only for teachers. Even though this section is intended for teachers, many of the posts will be very applicable and interesting for anyone who is a mentor to children, and your input is also welcomed. Check back later this week for the first post for the Teacher's Corner.
