I created this blog as part of a year long project with my 5th and 6th grade students in South Hero. We will each explore a special place in South Hero by visiting once a week to observe and collect data. Our observations will be focused on understanding the cycles of plants and animals in order to make connections to our climate. Additionally, we will collect data as we can, such as lake levels, temperature, relative humidity, precipitation and water quality, in order to compare to other places and understand how weather observations relate to overall climate.

I walk by Sawyer Bay on my way to and from school. The spot is lovely, changing every minute of each day, as the sun and clouds change, the water birds move in and out, the wind changes the waves on the lake and more. I am excited about what I will be learning!
