It’s so important for people to connect with anything they are learning so they understand why it's relevant to their lives. What are some ways you help students to see the consequences of climate change in your local communities?

Here in Northern Michigan, we just recorded the warmest winter on record. Our spring sports were able to start their seasons outside this week for the first time in over a decade. Typically, our lake levels run high as the snow and ice melt this time of year, but that is not the case. It will be interesting to see how that plays out with the Great Lakes this summer. Additionally, our local fruit growers are concerned that crops will start to come on too early, and then get damaged by a freeze.
During some of our warm spells in December and January, I noticed grass greening up and new fungi growing in my yard - not the norm for that time of year! Even our earthworms were utterly confused, appearing on sidewalks during the winter. I also heard of black bear sightings during times they would typically be hibernating.

Anne Koschmider , your stories are breaking my heart, but at the same time I love the observations and reflections you are making. They are very concrete and specific, as well as relevant to the lives of every-day people doing every-day things. These are great examples that should be extremely accessible during discussions with students and other adults.
