Winter Session Week 3

B1-2 Technology:
Fort Craig B1-2 students are part of the nationwide Winter Wonderland Wiki where we can collaborate on all sorts of winter projects. You can see our wiki page here.

After they completed the bubbles, they used to wonderful site Make a Flake to make a snowflake which could be inserted behind their bubble. The results looked something like this:
