Dear 7th Grade Families,
Rachel Carson, our house mentor, cared deeply about the natural world, and the 7th Grade House strives to engage in multiple experiences to understand both her life and her legacy. Carson believed, “if a child is to keep alive their inborn sense of wonder, s/he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with them the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.” We hope to be a part of inspiring a lifelong sense of wonder and awe of nature --- and the resulting desire to protect it.
So, on Oct. 12th and Oct 13th, we are planning two days of wonderment and exploration at WMS and at Treetop Adventures in Canton, MA.
CARSON:
- On Thursday, 10/12/17, students will travel to Treetop Adventures to participate in their zipline adventure park.
- On Friday, 10/13/17, students will rotate through nature-related activities and a wildlife presentation at school to generate a sense of wonder in our students.
