MARFA LIGHTS
The kids received mail from the Museum of the Unknown. (See bottom picture to the right) The Museum was looking for more information on The Marfa Lights for a museum exhibit they were creating. The students took part in a guided research study, exploring the different theories behind the Marfa Lights and even coming up with their own! They completed the research project with a presentation on the iPad using the application Haiku Deck. Ask your child about the Marfa Lights!
