Proud of their igloo: Bryan Geary, in back, stands with his first-grade class in front of their igloo at Lynnwood Elementary School. Geary used the project to teach his students about habitats, recycling, math, and structures. The kids brought in 412 milk jugs to build the igloo. The students also have been doing classwork, like math and reading, inside their igloo.
