We are inspired by our Mount Vernon Community of students, families, and staff who are showing great resilience, determination, and creativity to stay connected with one another and to support student learning. Their efforts to continue to make Every Day Count during this unprecedented time are amazing! Teaching & Learning staff are excited to share resources and ideas for staying connected and supporting student learning. Students are likely to hear from their classmates, teachers, and school sites with ways to stay engaged. Maintaining our sense of community supports our social-emotional health and will help each of us to remain engaged in learning. We hope you engage with and enjoy the ideas we post on our Every Day Counts! student learning blog. Stay tuned--we plan to begin posting on Monday, March 23rd! Many of the resources we will be sharing are available to all students via the MV TECHSMART K-12 DIGITAL LITERACY site.

3-27-2020 Puffin Problems

Have you ever seen a puffin? Take a trip to Heimaey Island in Iceland and figure out what is happening to the puffin population.



  • Find Heimaey Island on a map and draw a picture.
  • Search for Heimaey Island in Google Earth. What do you notice about the island? What do you wonder about the island?

Write the following ideas in your journal:

  • What is similar to Western Washington?
  • What is different than Western Washington?
  • What is the problem with the puffin population?
  • What do you think is the cause of the problem?
  • How would you solve this problem?

Share what you have learned with those in your home, or share in a comment.

Mrs. Thornburgh takes a tour of the island. You can too!
