We are in the midst of our unit on Food Consumption and Production: The Omnivore's Dilemma. Students are learning to identify the natural, human, and capital resources that go into producing and transporting our food from farm to table and the environmental impact of the food decisions that we make. Some great discussions have ensued. Much of their learning is happening through writing, with almost daily opportunities to make a claim about the day's learning and support that claim with evidence.
Laura Fletcher and Ericka Page, two UVM interns who we've been fortunate to have join our team, are currently completing their solo instruction hours. They have worked together to plan a rigorous outline of lessons that will help get students toward the ultimate goals of this unit.
Please continue to check the calendar daily for current homework assignments.
