Our eighth-grade science teacher is planning a trip to the science museum, and she showed us the exhibits on the museum website. The first-floor exhibits are immature, with water tables for play and sand boxes for "fossil” digs. The second-floor exhibits allow students to create, featuring simple machines, exploding volcanoes, and build-your-own electric circuits. These exhibits align with three of our units of study. The third floor boasts a 3D movie theater; unfortunately, the movie lengths exceed the time allotted for our field trip.

Soon after the moving truck departed, I made way next door to greet the new neighbors. A boy was playing in the yard, and I greeted him and introduced myself.

He creates imaginative games with others.

5,)Read this excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.
The silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eternal wakefulness. Freedom now appeared, to disappear no more forever. It was heard in every sound, and seen in every thing. It was ever present to torment me with a sense of my wretched condition. I saw nothing without seeing it, I heard nothing without hearing it, and felt nothing without feeling it. It looked from every star, it smiled in every calm, breathed in every wind, and moved in every storm.
