Students in Ms. Haines, Ms. Roper, and Ms. Stack/DeMarais classes spent three days at the Audubon Center of the NorthWoods on April 2-4. Expecting spring, we faced a major winter blizzard (12 inches). Despite the weather, students
traversed the high ropes, studied macro-invertebrates in the pond, and
conducted bird studies. |
