Adventures at the Nordic Center

This month, both Syringa's 4th and 5th grade classes were able to explore some of the beauty of Idaho at the Pocatello Nordic Center! This field trip gives both grades an opportunity to learn something new and work hard, while also having fun with their peers snowshoeing, or cross country skiing. 

Mrs. Jacobs, a Syringa 5th grade teacher, explained this about their trip, "Cross country skiing at the Nordic Center is one of the 5th grade's favorite field trips. We get to ride a bus up to Mink Creek, and spend the day in the snow. Pocatello Parks and Recreation Department sends instructors who teach us how to pick our boots and put on our skis. We spend the morning learning how to glide, stop, and get up when we fall down. It is harder than it sounds! In the afternoon they take us on a trail around the Yurt, then up and down some fun hills. It is a lot of work, but definitely one of the best days of 5th grade."

Great job Vikings!
