Dear Learners,

I had a great day of learning yesterday! Learning about beaver ponds and Molly Brown and the stories of how so many people came to Colorado and became rich in Colorado and then went bust in Colorado lit a fire for me.

And it made me want to explore. What I read in a book about Molly Brown convinced me that I have to soon go to her house in Capitol Hill. And watching that video of the beaver pond convinced me that I have to get myself to a State Park and see one for myself.

History is not just in the books. It surrounds us. It’s everywhere. We just have to look, listen, and imagine where it all came from.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
