On Wednesday we took a hike with Shawn Severance, a naturalist from County Farm Park. Shawn was a tremendous resource during our first project and the students took to her calm essence right away. Although this doesn’t relate to our current project, it’s always nice to get outside and explore. Shawn helped students learn how to track various animal prints, from mice to rabbits to coyotes and foxes.

Here are a few video snippets from today's brainstorming session on Need-To-Know questions for our Critical Media Project!
This week we kicked-off our next project, The Critical Media Project. In this project, students explore the essential question: how do advertisements affect our daily lives and how can we raise awareness of this in ourselves and our community? Before we dive into our material, students spent time developing a list of "Need-To-Know" questions, or items that are puzzling to them that they want to explore during the project. You can find photos of this process, as well as their questions, above!
This week we spent some of our math time baking! This is a great way to practice our measurement skills, as well as other concepts like adding fractions, in a hands-on, yummy way. We also get to use our fresh chicken eggs in the process!
