Pond


We started studying ecology is how thing work together in nature. So Miss Emily thought is was a good idea to make a pond which show how thing work in nature and a pond was perfect for it .We started studying pumps and the shape that we wanted it to be.We measured the pond and used a formula which can indicate how many gallons the pond will hold.




Chad helped us a lot. He made the hole where the pond was going to be.Then the Prince of Peace Lutherian Church from Minnesota came to help us with the project of building the pond. We started with the rocks and putting it in rows.We took the rocks from one place to the other and stacking it in the hole where the pond is going to be.


Although it only took about a month to finish with the pond, it took an large amount of hard work and also came out so beautiful. Everyone from 4th grade and 9th and others really worked hard an it really payed of. When we see the pond and the garden at Doulos, we are proud of our hard work, and we just go there once an a while and enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful view and just relax. We hope that everyone as new students or just visitors enjoy it as much as we do and take care of it.
