Reading Street end of the week writing prompt:

                           What Can We Learn by investigating nature?
                                             By Josh

      There are many things you will detect if you investigate nature.  Like seeing colored stars and constellations.  At dawn you wake up and at dusk go outside and maybe you will see dim lights or the Aurora Borealis which are a lot of of bright lights in colors of green, red blue and yellow. You can see the size of stars through a telescope.  Tella means 'far' and scope means 'see'. You can look through a microscope to see microscopic things.  I am so excited to learn more about nature.

12/3/13- Reading Street Concept Map and Type To Learn

Brattleboro History- Guest Speaker- Mr. Wheelock

Mr. Wheelock joined our class to talk about how entertainment has changed over time.  Some questions students asked:
What games did boys and girls play?
What did adults do for entertainment?
Were there clubs back then?
How were toys different and the same?
What did you do for fun in school.

We compared and contrasted life from the past to the present.

Many thanks to Mr. Wheelock!
