We've learned so much from our water unit! There was no better way to nearly close out the unit than inviting Debra Shore, Commissioner of the Chicago Water Reclamation District into our classroom to show her all we know about our clean and dirty water!
From her presentation, we confirmed a lot of what we knew, and we also learned about other solutions to combating runoff. We were excited that some of our ideas are already in place, trying to keep our freshwater here and not have it runoff into the storm drains.

From Ms. Shore's presentation, we spent time looking at each of the solutions she presented us with. We had a great discussion about how these solutions would positively impact our water supply, as well as possibly offer other benefits!
