Over the last month we have had many things happen in our class. Our visit to the Ice Core Lab, All School Meeting, Bootcamp, Fall Break, Interim Testing, Maps Testing, Halloween, Keystone Science School and of course all things we do while in class. Below are a select few images and brief descriptions from a handful of our adventures.

Keystone Science School
Our crew was integrated with both Ms. Lisa's and Mr. Josh's class. Mixing the groups was a great opportunity for all groups to experience different perspectives and different personalities. Over all the commingling went well. The images below consist of characters from all three classes.

Part our crew, part Ms. Lisa's and Mr. Josh's, hangin' inside a Lodgepole Pine tepee.
