Day 3 at Ralph Klein Park

Today we learned about Green construction and some of the features that make Ralph Klein Park a Platinum LEED building. We learned about the glulam beams that are stronger than steel, the position of the building to avoid solar heating but allow for lots of natural light and learned about the two types of solar panels that are used to provide services at RKP.

We worked with Mrs. Goodall and learned about Wetlands and how they work. Do you know how cattails help in a wetland?

This afternoon we did some sketching outside and had a chance to visit the Art Hill. We were surprised to discover how tall the Sentinels are.

Reminders:
- tomorrow is our final dat at Ralph Klein Park
- please send extra snacks as all of the fresh air is making us hungry!
