Tuesday, March 10

Today was a busy day! After excellent work on the CMTs, we spent a lot of time note taking for our research papers. At the end of the time we made a human timeline to see how our events compared in time to other students' events. Check out the list on the right to see what we're studying!

Besides our usual work, we also started exploring poetry. We read different types of poetry and thought about the different forms and styles that poets use.

We enjoyed reading Chapter 3 of The Trumpet of the Swan. We think it's neat how E.B. White ends some of the chapters with Sam's journal entry and a question. Just like Sam, we wonder how swans know how to make their nests. How do swans know how to make a nest?
