Thursday, April 23rd: Guest Paleontologist!

Hi 6th graders!  Below is a video from Dr. Kaitlin Maguire.  
She is a paleontologist at the Orma J. Smith Museum at the College of Idaho.  She is the one that loaned us the fossils and would have met with us if we had been able to take a field trip to the museum.  

She made a video for you to tell you about her life as a paleontologist and to answer some of the questions you've asked. 


Today's Assignment:
After watching the video, please take some time to write a letter thanking Dr. Maguire for taking the time to connect with you.  Be sure to include some specific things that you learned from her or that stood out to you.  If you have more questions for her you can ask them too!

A letter outline is below to help you.  
Please send your letter to Ms. Dolan: adolan@hccs481.org
