At the end of their four week session at Bogus Basin’s Snow School, Grade 4 teacher, Jennifer Clayton, asked her students to write a five paragraph essay addressing the question, “Should 4th Grade go to Snow School?” Here are a few excerpts from their papers:
“All 4th graders should go to Snow School because it is good exercise, good learning and great thinking.”
“You learn how to make a shelter and how to survive alone in the wild.”
“You learn how to think like an animal.”
“Fourth graders get to belly slide, play games and have fun! Belly sliding happens on steep hills.”
“They will track snow shoe hares and spiders, but the spiders are very tricky.”
“Kids get to learn awesome things like how to make snow blocks and how to make an igloo.”
“They will get great exercise. Stomping around in the snow and up steep hills will really hurt their legs. But their legs become stronger.”
“Fourth graders should go to Snow School because they will get outside and still learn.”
So…have our 4th graders convinced you that they should go to Snow School??
