Seeds, Hatchet, and Photos

The books that our grant bought us came in this week. Here we are, posing with the books. We'll send this picture with our thank-you notes.

Riley and Evan work together to finish up their narratives. Ask Evan about his story--it's fantastic, weird, and creative!

Mr. Williams helps Jailene discover the importance of description as Juan and Austy look on.

Hector works on the teacher's computer so that everyone can watch his work on the big screen. He's good at sticking with it and zooming in on details. Ask to read his story about his experience becoming an uncle entitled "Estrella."

To commemorate our work with our "seed pieces," we planted flower seeds. Here we are, posing with our dirt. Someone in this class drowned many of our seeds, but we are hoping they can dry out and germinate before they rot. (Note to teacher: don't leave the watering can near Jonathan and Dakota again.)
