Today was a day of well integrated community learning. We started our day practicing questioning and clarifying while reading a new Scholastic news article about forest firefighters. Next we practiced rounding decimals and subtracting decimals using information from the Columbia transit bus map. After lunch we observed resources at the Columbia fire department and learned about our local history at the Columbia bus station. The bus station was built in 1910 from limestone blocks similar to the limestone cliffs we had class beneath last week. The students noticed many similarities of the bus station to the eco-schoolhouse such as reused materials, vaulted ceilings and a LEED Silver award (we have Gold!). Students may be drafting their paragraph about transportation for their island tonight. We even had a short lesson on matter as students learned about the triangle of fire and iron oxidation.
