🍎SHARING IS CARING🍎
Crystal Lake Elementary School first grade students have been studying community helpers. To learn what community helpers look like in real life, Officer Glass, Nurse Benz, BAK Middle School's Assistant Principal Mrs. Connelly and Farmer Joe were just a few of the people who came to share how they support the community.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy days to help teach a great lesson!

🦃TURKEY, OR NO?🦃
6th graders in Ms. Stein's class at Indiantown Middle School had a pretty tricky writing assignment before Thanksgiving break.
Ms. Stein asked her students to write from the lens of a turkey and use their persuasive/argumentative skills to write letters convincing a farmer (Ms. Stein) not to cook them for Thanksgiving Supper!

📞CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW📞
For their sound energy unit, Ms. Zilly's fifth grade class at Port Salerno Elementary School read "Horton Hears a Who." The students wondered why everyone couldn’t hear The Whos like Horton could, so students investigated sound energy.
Students made and experimented with string telephones and found evidence that sound travels through vibrations! They wrote letters to Horton explaining sound energy and how it travels.

🎉CELEBRATING AN INCREDIBLE WOMAN🎉
Happy belated birthday to Louise Carnevale, who recently turned 108!!!
Louise is an extraordinary person who fights for what she believes in and creates lasting change. She did just that with the Environmental Studies Council, the organization that raises money for the one-of-a-kind learning provided by the Environmental Studies Center.
Over the years, Louise and the Council have funded each new hire's salary and provided additional money to enhance the Center’s program.
"Her presence in the community has had a long reach, including environmental activism and politics. Her small stature belies her dogged determination," Valerie Gaynor, Director of the ESC, said.
Louise shows us all what it truly means to be #ALLINMartin👊
