Last week I was able to attend Sky Ranch with 54 of Wallace's wonderful fifth graders (not to mention , 9 cheerful chaperones!) The weather was absolutely perfect. The cabins were nestled around a lake and surrounded by winding trails through the woods. During the day we attended science classes about nature and at night we enjoyed a campfire under the stars and a scavenger hunt in the dark. One of our classes was "Forces of Nature" in which we had 3 teams: Ms. Nick's "Orbiting to Neptune Nick", Mrs. McCoy's "R U Crazy Science Strategies", and Ms. Evans', "Eating Energy Evans." We took an initial run on the zipline. The students on each team helped their team leaders compete on runs 2 & 3 to see how fast and slow they could travel. Below is a photo of the 3 team leaders, Ms. Nick, Ms. McCoy, and myself (not to mention, our fabulous photographer who is not pictured, Tracy Padgett a.k.a. "Puttin' Down the Proof Padgett!")
