What REALMS is about

What is REALMS

REALMS is a Hands On Learning Charter School in Central Oregon. We are very different from most schools because we normally do not believe in learning by textbooks and homework (though we do have some). Our purpose is to foster scholarship, strengthen community, and inspire stewardship through active learning.

Here we have a mission, a mission to challenge each other to investigate, understand, and become stewards of the human and natural world around us.

Our Mission

Our Mission

Our mission is to help the process of restoration for Tumalo Creek. Meaning what we did to help restore Tumalo after the Bridge Creek fire. Since the fire was so devastating loggers came and took all of the trees away including the trees that were in the banks. After that there was nothing left. People finally realized that what we are doing to the creek is wrong so they started to fix it. They thought that it would be nice for the schools to get involved and that’s where we come in.

The 8th grade classes started to get really involved. We replanted trees and most of the riparian vegetation along the side of the creek along with a couple other schools.

Tumalo Week 2 - Math


Jared measuring DBH using a spencer tape.

Tumalo Math Day

        During Tumalo math day Dante our 8th grade math teacher who loves every thing about math prepared us for what we would be doing. He explained how our data we would be collecting would later be taken back to the classroom. We would later analysis and make sense of the data to better understand Tumalo. This is how we collected our data, first we broke in to groups, groups then found a tree, took an i pod and went to the kilometer app and entered 60 degrees as the coordinates. We then take a tape measure and see how far the distance is from the ground to the tree once we are at a 60 degree angle from it, we take that measurement and multiply the it by 1.73 to get the approximate tree height. Then we take a tape measure and go round the tree to get the diameter breast height. Then we record the data we collected. -Sienna Noah Trevor Isaiah
