Mi Arroyo, Mi Tierra

Santa Fe Teachers, teach your students about Santa Fe’s arroyos and be a part of a unique 6th and 7th grade outdoor learning opportunity!

Mi Arroyo, Mi Tierra was developed to support place-based outdoor education using local arroyos that are readily accessible to most schools. Each mini unit begins with a walk to observe different phenomena taking place in the arroyo. Through the lens of stormwater, students explore erosion, infiltration, and pollution while using hands-on activities that are aligned with 6th and 7th grade Santa Fe Public Schools priority NM STEM Ready! Science Standards. Students will make connections between the history of the local arroyo system, how water moving through impacts the system, best management practices, and the role arroyos have played in local cultures over time.

A self paced online training is available to teachers and educators to increase content knowledge and classroom supplies are available to check out from SFWA.
