Today we were very busy. From collecting mulch in the school garden to learning about the origins of early humans. In the morning, we a great game of sprout ball in PE and then practiced a writing technique to catch reader attention, which uses the strategy of starting a piece of writing at an exciting point and then back filling in the less exciting information. After practicing this, we had EarthBites and learned about how leaf mold and mulch can be used to improve a garden. Then we got our hands dirty and collected and ground up leaves to be used as mulch. In the afternoon, we kicked off out next inquiry on the anthropological origins of humans by watching the NOVA documentary, Becoming Human. |
