We had quite an October ride. We raised a lot of money for Renaissance, studied with some of Colorados finest scientist in the lab and in the forest. Visited our friends at the care center. Completed our first large project focused on the carbon cycle and built background knowledge for all our field work. Made time to read and break apart the elements of a story. We did a little dancing and I'd like to think we smiled a lot. There are many photos below and limited text to support those images. To learn about the stories behind the photos I encourage you to invite you child or your parent to sit near you and peruse the images together. The Colorado School of MinesNational Ice Core LabHalloweenThank you families for donating time, food and supplies. Manitou Experimental ForestWhile at the Experimental Forest I spent time in the field collecting data with only one group. So my perspective was limited to only 7 students. Each of the 3 groups collected similar data at other locations, so their experience was similar to, or the same, as shown in some of the images below. Back in the LabBelow are a few images highlighting building of background knowledge for our trip to Experimental Forest and the Carbon Cycle, and a bit of team building using spaghetti noodles, mini marshmallows, communication and creative problem solving. Silver Heights Care CenterRenaissance Adventure Day (RAD)RAD was a success! We raised a bit more than our goal, ~$42,000. Thank you families and crew for your generosity. Parent Volunteers Make it HappenWithout parent support much of our field work and service would not happen. I thank you from a full heart for all your hard work and positive spirit.
