Bigfoot!
Today, our fourth graders began a new unit called Enigmas. In this unit, students will research phenomenon such as The Lochness Monster, the Marfa Lights, the Nazca lines, and Bigfoot and draw their own conclusions based on the research they find. They will then put together a 3-D representation of their subject with the research data.
To begin our unit, we were fortunate enough to have two representatives from the Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy come to give us some information on Bigfoot. The TBRC an organization dedicated to investigate and conduct research regarding the existence of sasquatch or bigfoot. Their mission is to facilitate scientific, official and governmental recognition, conservation and protection of the species and its habitat and to help further factual education and understanding of the species.
Mr. Alton Higgins, a college professor in Oklahoma and Mr. Mike Mayes, a Texas History teacher, drove several hours to be with us. Our students listened attentively and asked lots of questions. Students were shown casts of footprints and a hand print and got to compare their own hands and feet to the casts.
As we progress, more blogs and pictures will be posted about their progress in this unit. We thank Mr. Higgins and Mr. Mayes for their time and for their outstanding information!
