City of Decatur Schools
Oakhurst Elementary
School Yard Habitat
The Oakhurst
School Yard Habitat project was initiated in 2004 by a teacher,
who solicited interest from other teachers and received funding
through the Decatur Education Foundation. It’s
objective was to work with classrooms to develop and begin
to implement a plan to improve local wildlife habitat. This
project was developed to go hand in hand with Decatur’s new Expeditionary
Learning Curriculum, teaching transdisciplinary skills (science, math, social
studies, art and English) to students of all ages through the planning and implementation
of the project.
