New!
In ELA, students will begin our new unit on Frederick Douglas’ narrative.

In social studies, we will begin by looking at the Native populations here and the subsequent contact with European colonizers.

In science, we will be working the local forest service on understanding our watershed ecology.

Updates and Info

Students ran a collective 49.5 miles during our Run-Walk-A Thon! We built our understanding of the historical context surrounding Frederick Douglass autobiography, sequenced important events in U.S. history, and had a very successful first field trip with the Forest Service installing a carnivore camera!

Reminder, I’ll be calling home on Friday, September 16th to let you know when we will arrive back at school after our day of hiking.
