Welcome back! It is hard to believe that our adventure will begin in just a few short days. What adventure? - you may be asking. Learning should be an adventure, following established paths and blazing new trails. We will do both this year as we study the geography, history, and government of our nation. I hope you find my classroom to be a place where you can explore topics of interest and build connections to our world, past and present. I want you to question, explore, create, share, and reflect.  More about all of this later.

In my next post, I will tell you about my summer geographic adventure. Right here in northern Vermont, a rugged dirt and gravel road through a mountain pass. Was it a shortcut or something else entirely? Can you guess the location? Post a comment!

In the meantime, enjoy the last few days of summer!  I am excited to begin our learning adventure on August 27th.

is it the Hazen Notch or the military road that you encountered?

Mr. Hadd I think that you went into Montgomery on rt. 58 through into center Hazens Notch natural area, through to Lowell. Then you kept going until you came to Irasburg, then you kept going until you came into Orleans then took rt. 5 south to Barton, then you could've got on the interstate to Lyndonville or take rt. 5 to Willoughby state forest, through to west burke, then follow it to Lyndonville.

My mom and I have decided to include an additional comment so here it is:
We would like to know if it was the bowling ball pyramid
