The students have been reading in book clubs. One of the books selected by our groups is The Music of Dolphins by Karen Hesse. This is a great book for animal lovers! A young girl, Mila, is found by scientists. After a shipwreck, she is raised by dolphins. The scientists try to help her learn what it is like to be human. Although she makes progress, she misses her dolphin family and the freedom that they have. Korten Crew students definitely give this book two thumbs up! | After creating/presenting their own slide shows based on selected reading club books, students were able to learn first hand about whales and dolphins through an interesting lesson presented by WDC (Whale and Dolphin Conservation), a leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins. It is so incredible to be able to Skype around the globe this year and learn through such amazing experiences. Thank you to Monica Pepe for a great presentation. We hope to keep in touch in the future! :) |
