The sixth graders and I went to Camp Magruder for outdoor school this year! What a GREAT time we had. There were 4 divisions for the students to participate in for field study: Water, Earth, Animals, and Forest. The weather was fantastic, the food great and everyone had fun.
We were able to play on the beach, have cabin time, disect squid, and make new friends. I can't wait for next year!
Our classroom will be focusing on STREAMS (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, Math, Service) with an emphasis on project based learning. Follow our progress in our Outdoor Classroom, Makerspace and Service projects. It's going to be AMAZING!

More baby birds!
The youngsters from the Jones' nest have ventured out and are entertaining us with their antics. The four are each quite different from their parents in coloring. Time will tell if the colors change to the zebra finch coloring the parents have. One is almost white....hummm.
Our second couple, the Society Finches, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, have announced that their eggs are hatching! Monday we saw one little pink baby. By Friday all five should be hatched. Now for another week and a half before those young ones emerge! What excitement!
We will be looking for home for these lively, sweet little birds if any one is interested.
On another note.....Sixth grade outdoor school was fabulous! We will be posting a few pictures from those adventures soon.
