I walked into a fifth grade classroom today and a student was super excited to share her poster she was working on. She shared her comparison of snakes and caecilians, blind limbless amphibians that I had never heard of. She read about them in language arts and said, "They were new to me too!" Across the hall, another fifth grade class took time to learn about 9/11 today, writing about honoring our first responders.
