Well, the snow came to Vermont a little late this year. Thankfully we took advantage with a quick, three day snowshoeing unit towards the end of March. Three classes for each 3rd/4th grade student (spanning 1-2 weeks) was all the snow would allow before it began to melt. First, students were sized with their correct snowshoe. Next, Mrs. McClintock passed on here amazing snowshoe knowledge to the students, and to finish off the mini three day unit we had two days out in the snow. Students learned how to take on and off their snowshoes, how to stand up in snowshoes, how to run, how to walk backwards, how to ascend a hill, and finally how to descend a hill. What a great lifetime activity to learn when you live in the beautiful state of Vermont.
