Creatures from another planet?? No, Huntley teachers and sixth graders   dressed  for  the  COLD  weather.   Ms,   Lewis,   Tanya. Robinson, Mrs. Lanphier, Nancy Kohley, Shane Pickerill,  Kim Schultz and Jenny Kruger. 	
Before we left fqr Atwood, the sizth grade learaed how to make snow shoes out of branches. We had to try them out in.Deicke Park first. Some worked and aome didn't, soe we made our repairs and took them to Atwood. While we were out there, we had to dress in layers according to the weather and we went snow shoeing.
We also studies tracking. Out group tracked a fox to his hole. We knew he was in there because the heat of his breath made icicles around the hole. The other groups fbund rabbit, racoons, deer, mouse and chickadee tracks.
