Elementary school students learn lessons from inside an igloo At
Farm Life Elementary School, learning doesn't have to happen
just from your seat. Students in the K-2 Exceptional Children’s
Program learn a few of their daily lessons from inside an igloo
made out of milk jugs. Teacher Melanie Ross says she saw the
idea online and knew her students would love it. She collected
232 milk jugs from students, parents and church members in the
community. "For them to associate the word igloo with the real
object igloo, that means they're learning. Yes, they learn
differently in this classroom, but they are learning," said
Ross. Inside the igloo are paper fish with magnets, which helps
teach the kids hand-eye coordination. Ross said the activities
also teach the kids how to share, count and identify different
colors. She said when the class is done with the igloo, the
recycling center should be very excited to get 232 milk jugs.
