Our next stop was @GraueMillMuseum where we were able to appreciate the history of the grist mill & Underground Railroad station. Should we still remove the dam knowing that it’s such an important part of history?

[Mr. Joe Waytula @Waytula]

This month during our argumentative reading & writing units, 5KW Huskies are deciding whether we should keep or remove the Salt Creek Dam at Graue Mill. Today we got to hear both sides on our #FieldTrip to @dupageforest #FullersburgWoods and @GraueMillMuseum 🌲📝

[Mr. Joe Waytula @Waytula]

First stop at #FullersburgWoods @dupageforest for some stream monitoring with our Naturalists. Water quality was “fair” to “poor” so we wonder if removing the dam would help the macroinvertebrates that we got to see today.

It is always awesome when students want to share with their classmates things that they have been learning on their own. Students @kw5huskies learned a lot from one of their classmates today!

If we invest more time in building the executive functioning skills at an early age, we will all benefit from the success those children achieve as adults!!

@jengrbb @HallElemSchool Both sides shared some great points! In the end... keeping chocolate milk won. 🥛

[Mr. Joe Waytula @Waytula]

Should chocolate milk be served in schools? Let the debate begin!!

Spending the afternoon with @MaggieBRoberts learning small group & 1:1 strategies to improve instruction and student performance #D15InsightDay

Today in Y6 we looked at poems that could be read forwards & backwards. I was stunned by this one written by one of my 10 year olds. Please share - I would love her work to be appreciated further afield. I wonder if it could even find a publisher?
