Otzi is a 5,博彩网站 year old mummy preserved by nature. Found in the Alps, Otzi continues to amaze scientists. Studying this find is like traveling back in time to meet an ancestor from the Bronze Age! 学生 will use their new knowledge to discover how archaeologists used forensics to answer questions about ancient humans. Ask our child to tell you all about it!

    Please check your child's Challenge folder each week and help them to remember to return it the following week. Items to look for are Weekly Challenge assignments and notes from the teacher. The newsletter is also sent home in the folder. Please remove items that are in the side that says Keep At Home. Sometimes your child may share their Challenge papers with you, but they are left in the folder. It helps us to know that you are receiving communication if the papers are removed.

    If papers are sent in the side that says: Return 去学校, then please place them back in the folder and return in time for your child's Challenge day.
