We had completed our life science unit prior to our trip and the students were able to demonstrate their understanding in a very real way. It wa
s impressive.

Due to the later state testing window, we were able to put our trip off by almost two weeks, so it was beautiful and warm. We've never seen so many ![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lSCFNSZN1lA/S8s3zefiLJI/AAAAAAAAAME/Dq-p2LonXa4/s200/turnbull5.jpg)

During our pond study, we even saw a water scorpion! That was a first! We also caught water beetles, mosquito larvae, and frogs. What a great day.
Team running update:
Team Northwest had a mixed training week. Kate, Norm, and Cy did the team proud. Their training is progressing well. Jeff was on the road all week, which made it tough to train. I am still nursing a leg injury...very frustrating.
I'm so glad that trip was such a success! It sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the doctor. :)
So glad you had a great field trip this year but sorry you are still one of the walking wounded.
