This week we water tested, waded, went crabbing, sketched, walked, and canoed the Bronx river.
If you went on the trip, blog about your experience, if you stayed behind reflect on your leanings from this week (Bronx river restoration, alewife/oyster reintroduction).
Also check out some pics from the trip below.

Blog Post due Sunday, 9/16 @ midnight
In class this week we focused on two topics.
Our first topic, sustainability, was wrapped up by analyzing The Lorax by Dr Seuss and the story of Easter Island and the Rapa-nui.
The second topic of the week kicked-off our semester long journey on all things water. We took an in depth look at the water molecule and all of its unique properties.
For your blog post choose one of these two topics to write about.
Use the same format as last week. (See last week's post for help and guidance when writing your post if needed).
Congratulations on finishing the first full week of school! It's going to be a great year.
