May 8, 2013

Good Morning,
  We have had a great start to our residency program.  Yesterday, I had a the pleasure of sitting with the group that chose beekeeping.  Gib Geiger spoke to the group for almost 90 minutes and they were totally captivated.  I was amazed how much I didn't know about bees.  They are truly a fascinating insect.

  We also worked on the concept of illustrating narratives and including the major elements in our pictures.  The students were asked to illustrate a story that we wrote as a group.  Today, they will be asked to start their own narratives.

  Tomorrow, we will be headed to the Ward's Farm.  The weather may be a little wet.  Please have yoru children dress for success!

  Have a great day.

Peace,
Tom
