Kellogg FIELD School News
Say hello to our Education Strand Students!
Our students have been training at Alaska Pacific University's Kellogg FIELD School in Palmer. They spend part of their day shadowing and supporting instructors and the other part integrating their learning of how to be a leader, while building a community of adventure seeking and nature loving teens. The goal of Kellogg FIELD School is to create holistic learners that pursue interests and solve problems by looking through a wide-angle lens, using scientific inquiry, historical understanding, cultural awareness and linguistic reflection.
While building on basic teaching concepts, building lesson plans, and engaging young people, they have had to opportunity to work towards and earn their paraprofessional license. Which they can take and become a Teacher's Aide OR build upon it if they would like to pursue becoming a fully licensed teacher in their villages.
We are incredibly thankful for our developing partnership with Alaska Pacific University, where Alaska can continue to grow their own teachers! Three of the students were in the Career Technical- Education strand during the winter and returned to be a part of Summer XL! They are on their way to become future educators in Alaska!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.The Eagles spent their morning gardening in EweTopia Farms Greenhouse. They transplanted geraniums, added soil to pots, and worked together to plant nasturtium seeds. Their class theme this week was all about flowers - and we couldn't think of a better place to explore the topic! Many many thanks to Carol Symonds!
Very cool!

Do you or someone you know LOVE flowers?! You can reserve a flower share from our friends Brown Dog Farm for stunning bouquets all summer long!We have doubled our high tunnel space this year so we will have a lot more early flowers, like these snap dragons. High tunnels help us get these blooms 3-4 weeks earlier! It’s also allowing us to open more CSA shares, so if you’re still looking for a way to get our flowers this summer be sure to signup for a share on our website!
Check out the amazing work Miss Emily has been up to!
