Mitchell Lake Field Trip

Wow!  What a great trip the 3rd-5th graders had yesterday to Mitchell Lake.  A lot of this was due to their incredible behavior, our wonderful chaperones, the staff at Mitchell Lake, and Mr. Justin Moore (our drone expert)!  Mr. Moore put together a “highlight” video of our field trip using drone footage, as well as images gathered by students.  You can view the video below.  I’ve also tried to embed the 3d map the drone produced that day. (If the embed code doesn’t work, you can click here.)  The photos are some of the ones I took of our group.  Hopefully we can include some of the other group, too!

5th Grade Helps to Plan our Field Trip

We were able to have another teleconference today.  This time, Jake Stanush, who will be our guide during the Mitchell Lake field trip, joined us along with Justin Moore, who will be flying the drone when we go out there.  We learned more about the origins of the lake (one of the two natural lakes in Texas, and sewage from SAWS used to be dumped there) and figured out our timeline and activities for the field trip.  The students also worked on their Genius Hour projects – adding improvements based on peer feedback.
