Snowshoes

 Carroll Ketchum came to school to tell us how his Grandfather, Walter Ketchum made snowshoes in Gaysville, Vt.  many years ago. 
 We touched the rawhide and saw how it was used in making snowshoes. 
 We put on our snowshoes and walked to the forest behind the school. 





 We roasted popcorn over the fire!
Fun time exploring with snowshoes!!
