In this Deep Roots Radio interviewed, Jessica “Turtle” Manderfeld describes the pictures and skills displayed by 3rd, 4th and 5th graders excited by the insects, animals and birds of their native Wisconsin. The exhibit, which runs until the end of April, is sponsored by the Farm Table Foundation in partnership with the Amery School District’s Amery Inquiring Minds program, the Natural Heritage Project, and the local Power Up 4 Kids effort. The young artists used this project to develop their research skills, work in teams to create their art works, and then learn how to describe their work to a small jury, and well as to all the adults who attended the exhibit’s opening night reception at the Farm Table Foundation.

I hope you’ll enjoy the interview, and urge you to visit the exhibit. I’m really glad about this collaboration to connect activities and values that make learning fun.
