Hike A Mountain For School

The Andes mountains, one of the most famous mountain ranges in the world. Many have based their whole lives on climbing the mountain, but who would have ever taught a school lesson on the mountain. I will tell you who, Christian Gilbert, teacher of Waconia public schools. The teacher and a co-teacher climbed the mountain and sent emails to many students and faculty. The emails were all about were he was, what he had done that day and what he was going to do the next day. He also taught lessons for students that wanted to learn about the geological are of the Andes mountains. His students got a real inside look of the great mountains, with out even having to climb it. I am sure this lesson taught by Gilbert will inspire his students to learn more about the Andes mountains and many other mountain ranges.
