GMS 6th graders wrapped up their research unit on our changing oceans recently with a video call to a real-life explorer -- Mark Wood, who travels to remote places around the world. Mr. Wood has led polar and mountain expeditions for over twenty years in areas including the Arctic Circle, Antarctica and the Himalayas, plus the Norwegian, Canadian and Alaskan high Arctic. He has trained and led teams and supported film crews for documentaries. This was a an extraordinary culminating activity and the students were fascinated by his stories and adventures! #LearnGrowEngageGreendale #CultivatingExcellence
