Vanport Science Connections with Mark Doyle

Over the past couple weeks we have been lucky enough to spend some time exploring some science connections to the work we have been doing around the Vanport flood. Mark Doyle has been working with the third graders on a variety of projects, including making clouds from dry ice, using surveyor tools to see how deep puddles around the school grounds are, and a model train engineering challenge involving slope. 

Pen Pal Visit

Last Monday our pen pal class from Arleta School in Portland came to visit us. They picked us up with their school bus took us Wapato park. We had a scavenger hunt and a picnic. It was very rainy but also very sweet to see our students meet the people they have been corresponding with all year. :)
