FUN IN THE SUN!







From Scarlet and Ruby;
Hi! Today we spent a day learning about glaciers and snowshoeing under the Grand Teton! It was very sunny today and we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Taggart Lake. We competed to see who could throw snowballs the farthest. So far, Nick is in the lead but Scarlet wins for left handed throws. We learned a lot about how glaciers affect mountains. We all learned about a certain aspect of glaciation and taught it to the class. Nick and Lily did a wonderful job teaching us. We played a super fun game of camouflage to put ourselves in the shoes of prey and predators. By the end, we were all soaking wet but full of smiles! We drove towards the science school and cleaned up the lunch boxes before settling down to inform you about our day.

  2. What an amazing day! Loved the video of your lesson on glaciers - I wish every classroom could be just like that one. We can't wait to hear all the stories - keep the great pictures and writing coming.

    Love,
