8 Days and Counting

The last few weeks of school are always busy. Yesterday G's school staged a "Lewis & Clark Museum," during which each child acted as a docent for a topic pertaining to the Corps of Discovery. G's presentation was on York, Clark's slave, who accompanied the Corps on the journey.

G's class has a Toshiba America Foundation Science and Math Improvement Grant to study the ecosystem of the local watershed. Today the class split into small groups and visited various sites to take water samples and make other observations.
