In ELA, students will continue our unit on Frederick Douglass’ narrative.

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

In science, we will be working with the local forest service on understanding our watershed ecology and learning more about the organization of different life systems.

Updates and Info

We spotted a ringtail cat and an opossum on our Carnivore Cam! We began reading the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, a very complicated and eloquent piece of writing. In social studies we looked at the arrival of Columbus to the Americas and discussed different perceptions of that event. We enjoyed great discussions surrounding the presidential debate, and had our first soccer scrimmage. 

Students are doing a great job rising to challenges and being their own best problem solvers.
