WEST Teachers, Fellows, Faculty and staff gathered at the Alta Peruvian Lodge in September to exchange ideas and plan activities.
Mr. Wilkinson's Big Bug Book
Students from Ms. Carruth's 5th grade class at Wasatch Elementary created this book as a thank you to WEST fellow Elliot Wilkinson for helping them learn about bugs (and a few other things as well...)! 5th grader, Gavin, created the cover for this piece of art!
Climbing Navajo
Students climb to the top of a steep sandstone
pinnacle during a field trip to Snow Canyon, Utah. WEST fellow,
Jessica Ali-Adeeb, helped the group decipher the canyon's varied
geologic history by creating a lesson to "Solve the Mystery of Snow
Canyon".
