After reading a story about how Native Americans took care of the prairie by burning the grasses each year, the fourth grade classes were visited by Nathan Brunner, owner of Fire For Hire. His prescribed burning company assists farmers and landowners in restoring prairie grasses for animal habitat, invasive plant control, and grass rejuvenation. It was a great text-to-world connection to see that these things still happen today! #gameonrailers
