Students in first block plan one of their writing assignments based on the documentary, “Life in the Undergrowth.” Once this early assignment is fully complete, they will be finishing their first species profiles. Further, they are planning an October field trip to New York City’s Botanical Gardens (http://www.nybg.org) and the Bronx Zoo (http://www.bronxzoo.com), which will also carry a research-driven writing component for the exhibit.
