We visited the Hawthorne Hostel today...

... be sure to ask your students what they use blue jeans for at the hostel. You can also ask them about some of the other sustainable practices we learned about. 

Several 6th and 7th graders have their speeches today -- they all did a good job and were well prepared! The rest of the group will give their speeches on Friday.

Homework

Due 4/18: Track Your Dinner Parts 2 & 3 -- add to part one
Part 2: Track each its ingredient to its origin: include any stops it made and changes in form.
This could take form as a world map that shows the stops your food made, a graphic like the example on the back of the homework assignment sheet, a chart like the one Sarah made in class that shows stops and mileage for each ingredient
Part 3: Answer the Questions on your Poster:
1. How many miles did my food have to travel to get to my plate?
2. What are some different choices I could make to reduce my food miles?
3. How do my choices affect our planet? 

Due 4/18: Hawthorne Hostel Essential Questions
Due 4/19: Wildlife Tour Research on specific animal
