What an exciting, enlightening week we've had. The retreat to Howell Nature Center was a blast, and gave the class lots to think about as we try to decide how to take what we learned and apply it to helping people in our own community who may not have enough to eat. Stay tuned for more on this topic in the future! Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip: Reading:
We continued reading Hoot this week, and students are doing a great job of stopping, thinking, and jotting about their reading. I am hoping that students can be finished with the book by Monday, October 7th. For some this may mean taking the book home to read, and I encourage you to check in with your child on their progress. It will be key for our discussion of the book's themes and for our next writing project that everyone has read the book! Writing: Students continued working on their nature journals. Students are putting our study of descriptive and sensory language to good use as they describe a time they were out in nature. These are due next week Thursday, October 3rd, and I will post them around the middle school commons. You can check out one student's work below:
