Follow along with Barnhart School's Class of 2010 to Yosemite National Park beginning Sunday, October 12, 2008 as our 7th grade students experience field science programs in nature's classroom. With the Yosemite Institutes help, we will inspire a personal connection to the natural world and responsible actions to sustain it.

The program will teach our students about the natural world in experiential, interdisciplinary ways and use the natural sciences as a model for the pursuit of knowledge in other fields. While observing and describing features of this natural world, our 7th graders will build community and a sense of citizenship. As the week concludes, these young people will have developed their own conclusions about how global environmental stewardship fosters the continued existence of the natural world and the sustainability of its resources.

Please join us! Each evening we will post photos and narrative describing our day. Just click on the Daily Update button above, and follow along!
