Hey class!
Today was a different day then we would normally see. Taking the PSAT from seven till eleven, we had a very draining morning. The test had consisted of two english sections and two math sections. The english had been broken down into a reading section and the writing and grammar section. The concept of the PSAT is to help prepare ourselves for taking the SAT this year. The SAT is a standardized test unlike any other test you have taken before and depending on your scores it may help you get into a great college. Having a short lunch immediately after the test our next class was english! Mr. Rivers being the amazing teacher that he is brought us outside on a fun little field trip. We read a poem written by Walt Whitman in 1855 called “Leaves of Grass.” While reading this poem, taking in the sweet smell of autumn, our class wrote down any feelings we were feeling in that moment. Today, an extremely warm day, I was feeling warm and relaxed taking in the beautiful colors of the leaves on the trees. We had the opportunity to walk around and to take in the environment and our surroundings or to sit and enjoy the peace. After this fun activity we handed in our paper once we got back inside in the classroom and that was our english class for the day.

Great post, Chloe! I like that you provide the PSAT as context for our learning. Don't forget to include an image or video that takes this post to the next level.
