In Language Arts the girls completed a creative writing assignment. To continue our Spirit Day "Mawrtian" theme, the girls were hand selected by the President and NASA to complete a special space mission to Mars.
The girls had to describe Mars and the Martians using all 5 senses. What did Mars look like? Smell like? Feel like? Taste like? What sounds did they hear on Mars? Also, Who did they meet? Was Mars safe? Dangerous?
Of course, being critical thinking Bryn Mawr girls, the first question after the assignment presentation was, "We can't just go to Mars, we have to go through some sort of training to help our bodies adjust to the conditions on another planet. Can we include the training portion of our journey in our writing?"
The answer was an impressed (and triumphant), "Yes!"
The girls did a fabulous job--there was an hour of little green and yellow bodies working diligently and raising their hands every minute or two, excitedly asking me to read what they had created. We can't wait for you to see them at conference time!
