Congratulations to our very own Quinn Worthington on receiving the Amit and Meena Chakma Award for Exceptional Teaching by a Student! This award is given to a student who is considered to have intellectual vigor and communication skills in the interpretation and presentation of subject matter, as well as concern and sensitivity to the academic need of the students.

You can now watch and listen to Wally and Deanna's water cycle adventure online! Follow Wally the Worm and Deanna Waterdroplet as they travel to the saturated zone and further.

Wally and Deanna use accurate terminology to describe their journey and explain how water droplets, like Deanna, travel from the sky to the ground, to an aquifer, to rivers and back up to the sky. This book and our new video are the perfect introduction for young children to the water cycle!
