Class Constitution 2007
Our class has created a classroom constitution that reminds us of the expectations we have for ourselves and each other. On the island, our living space, are the behaviors we would like to exhibit. In the ocean waters are the behaviors we would like to minimize. This constitution is a helpful and pleasant reminder of the expectations we have agreed to follow.
Ice Harvest 2007
We enjoyed the opportunity to get out on the pond ice in February. Here is part of our class sawing and harvesting ice. In Science and Math we are working to understand volume. We looked at the difference between water displacement and using length measurements to find volume.
As we worked we remembered that Jim Davis from the Davis Brothers Historical Farm tells of how ice was harvested during the winter months in Lapeer and kept frozen until the late Summer during the early 1900s.
You will see that Peter, our ecology instructor, also helped us to create an impressive ice tower.
