We had a great trip to Fort Whyte on Monday!  In the morning we learned about climate and in the afternoon we had a navigation program.  It was a beautiful day to be outside!

The nature projects (including habitats, rocks and minerals, and weather) are due this Thursday.  I have marked several sections so far and given students feedback.  Students are encouraged to read through the criteria carefully to make sure they have included the necessary information, and to proofread when they are done.  Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
