Horse Lake Staff Members Participate in "Below Zero" Activities

Several members of the Horse Lake Staff gathered on Professional Day for a workshop on taking learning outside with Below Zero Activities. Facilitated by Roland and Jessica from the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, the workshop provided participants with many outdoor activities that take advantage of our winter climate that they could use with their students. Our teachers studied snow flake patterns, animal adaptations in winter, animal tracking in the snow, and conducted experiments that demonstrated the insulating qualities of snow and other natural and synthetic materials. We all left the workshop with an Activity Guide full of outdoor activities that address our curricular goals across all grades.
