Out and Abouts
This Wednesday, we walked to Main Street to look at what goods and services can be found in downtown Forest Grove as we start to study Natural Resources and Consumerism.
Next Wednesday, we will go to the Forest Grove Police Station to support our investigation of community resources and to learn about the skills different workers need for their jobs.
On September 28th, we will be gone all day on a trip to Metro Central Transfer Station in Portland as we investigate the path of goods which become garbage & recycling.
