Puffer Hikes the Fall Trails

Puffer has been hiking, enjoying the outdoors. As the trees get ready for winter, the green chlorophyll in the leaves begin to disappear, leaving the yellow and orange colors. Some trees, like maples, have extra sugars that turn red and purple.  The result is the colors of autumn.

Great teamwork!

We started our new unit this week - Bodyworks.   Students drew and labeled the major organs of their body as a pre-assessment.  It was difficult deciding how to fit the 3-D body onto a 2-D piece of paper.

Even though Puffy arrived late, he still found some wrappers
