Flooding events<\/a> are something that the children in this Austin, Texas kindergarten classroom are familiar with. The creek adjacent to the school is one site where children witness the impacts of extreme rain storms. \u201cFlooding\u201d and \u201cfloods\u201d are words that often echo through this place when children encounter changes in the water level. For example, encounters with a fallen tree bring forward multiple theories about the effects of flooding on the ground (\u201ctoo spongy\u201d), the roots (\u201ctoo short\u201d), and the branches (\u201cdrank too much creek\u201d). Children also wonder what other kinds of creek life this now fallen tree might support (\u201ca bridge for the deer to cross the creek\u201d). These minor, everyday encounters seem to engage with multispecies interdependencies. We wonder, how might our creek pedagogies further engage the more-than-human effects of flooding? What can flooding events teach us about multispecies interdependencies? How might responding to flooding events enact practices of radical relationality<\/a> with the more-than-human world? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
