Fort Keck to become
a classroom in spring
The Fort Rock State Natural
Area is a place where someone
can have a picnic, hike, or watch
the wildlife. But come this spring
it will be crawling with approxi
mately 280 eighth grade stu
dents. Eighth grade students at
Jefferson County Middle School
are preparing for a one-day trip
to Fort Rock for a hands-on
learning experience. Their learn
ing experience will focus on the
area from when the setders first
came to Oregon.
Fort Rock is a near circle
tower of jagged rock walls that
make it seem like a fort. It's an
old shield volcano set in what
was a shallow sea in prehistoric
times. While standing inside, a
person can imagine the early
American Indians canoeing to
and from this island.
There were sandals found
nearby, which are believed to be
the oldest ever discovered in
Oregon, dating back more than
6,000 years.
Middle school teachers who
are teaching two subjects were
throwing around the idea to
combine their subjects on a day
trip. The idea is now becoming
a reality for the entire eighth
grade this year. It will be similar
to the outdoor school, where
there are stations of study
groups. Each core class will have
a station set up for their sub
jects of study.
Math classes are now work
of grain.
Tickets may be purchased by
Rita Squiemphen, CR Begay,
Gladys .Squiemphen,. Earjynne
Squiemphen, Monica Leonard,
and Val Squiemphen.
