First, in science, Andrew was learning about how electricity is produced in power plants. He was rather surprised to learn that we live very close to one. This power plant supplies power for our town and is located only a few miles from where we live. We see the steam rising to the skies over the trees all the time. I believe, our power plant is fueled by natural gas.
Second, in LA writing class, we brainstormed for words one uses when giving directions. The kids started writing down directions how to get from our house to the library in town. We have driven there countless times, but when you really have to start thinking about how to get there, it puts a different spin on the journey. It is not just about passing the fire station or driving over the railroad tracks. You are actually paying attention to signs and turns and street names.
