Each student was given one stanza of the poem, "Freedom Isn't Free" for Grandparents Day. It has to be memorized.

Due Monday, October 19: Tree mini project: Students will choose one tree and collect a leaf or two, maybe a seed, do a bark rubbing, and write a paragraph about it. They'll mount everything on a small poster board. They can be gathering items now., and they'll have two weekends after the literature fair project to do it. This will count for both a science grade and a language grade (for the paragraph).
