2. Project Overview Now that the students have become “master mappers,” they will begin learning about plants. Throughout their plant study, our class will learn about plants native to Columbus, IN. The class will then connect the plants to the map located on the 2nd floor at CSA-Lincoln. Our class has also applied for a grant to fund landscaping a section at Puddles 2 Park. We will visit Schneider Nursery for a field trip. Our 4th graders are working to make an interactive map on the history of Columbus, using the map located in our building. Our class will submit their findings about native plants to report on the map.
