These Hitchcock Homeschool students are water protectors! Inspired by the Indigenous water protectors of Standing Rock, they're exploring questions such as- what is the importance of water, and how does it connect everything? What is the water cycle? How can water support so many diverse habitats and creatures?

Here they are in the forest for storytime with Hitchcock Educator Ali learning about rivers and rain! 🌧

Sign up now for our June 4th Discovery Day about #Pollinators and how humans benefit from and protect them: https://www.hitchcockcenter.org/homeschool/
