This unit focuses on Puget Sound as an ecosystem, including the watersheds surrounding the Sound. It introduces students to the difficult and complex choices Puget Sound residents must make concerning the management of our natural resources.

Currently, The Ghioni Gems are deep into research. Each student chose a Puget Sound marine organisms to investigate. After they find at least 30 facts, through exploring three or more resources, they will apply their knowledge by giving a presentation as well as completing a project option. I will be sending home a copy of the directions and expectations on Monday, so you can see the due dates and the project options. Your child will have plenty of time to work on this project in class, but they are welcome to work on it as home as well.
