I hope you all had an excellent break! Today in theme we'll finally get back to the wilderness, and consider our KSS experience. We'll also consider the end of the Revolutionary War and the creation of a nation. We've completed our trimester presentations and grades for the final product will be posted soon. Our trimester concluded last Tuesday and as a result, the final grades posted this week will be the final grades for the trimester.

This week in theme, the students have been presenting their final trimester projects. Overall, I have been very impressed with both the projects and presentations. Next week, we'll be finished with the projects and life in theme will be back to normal. I hope that you have an amazing Thanksgiving break with family and friends .

I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend! This week in theme we'll continue to work on our final projects. These are due on Thursday. In addition, we'll reflect on our Keystone experience and learn more about the wolf populations of Yellowstone National Park.

Wow! What a week! The students should be very proud of their sucesses at The Keystone Science School. We worked on team-building and looked at the reintroduction of wolves into the Colorado environment. We all learned a lot about how complex of an issue this is.

All students should be hard at work on their trimester projects as the final product is due on Thursday, November 15th. This is only a week away! At this point, all students have completed their twenty fact cards and a rough draft of their bulleted overview. Now, they need to be hard at work on creating the final presentation of their project. please check in with your student in order to ensure that they are on track and have all materials needed for the final product.

Things you need to know:

* Your child must carry what they pack into the lodge! Please take this into consideration!

* Your child needs a lunch for the first day. Please do not pack extra food!

* Please create a day pack (lunch, layers, etc.) and keep it seperate from the larger bag!
