Lindon First, Second Grades Go to Granite Flat for Studies September 29th was a big day for Lindon first and second graders. We all went to Granit Flat for a day of outdoor education. We had parents and one big brother, Kirk Tanner, who went along to help and enjoy the day with us. Each group had a turn to go on a nature walk with Mr. Gilbert, do an art project-a pine cone squirrel, play games and do some collecting of plants and insects. Ranger Stan Ekins talked to students about trees and fire safety in the mountains. The highlight of the day wa the unplanned visit to our campgroup of a skunk who crawled into a stove and stayed for the day. A sack lunch on the lawn was a welcome break and a visit from Smokey Bear while we all sang Smokey's song was an exciting climax to the day. The trip was a planned part of a class unit on nature. It now will be used as a springboard for further learnings lear-nings expanding the students knowledge of their environment. environ-ment. It was a super educational experience. Ask any youngster, teacher, parent of students in grades 1 and 2 if it wasn't so. |
