Following the presentation we had the opportunity to go outside and do some journal observations with the eighth graders that included recording the temperature, cloud cover and natural history observation.  To conclude the visit Will spent some time inside with the eighth graders taking questions and hearing from them what they have learned so far using Minnesota’s Changing Climate.  Many thanks to Ms. Moore’s class and the Proctor community for such a warm welcome and keep up the great work!IMG 6898
