  • A group of fifth graders from a rural, underserved community is asked to challenge their senses. Many of these students have never left their hometowns. They have never seen snow, the ocean, or mountain peaks. They put on blindfolds and are asked to rely on their other senses and one another to help guide them to a place they’ve never seen or experienced.

  • Today I am writing about something absurd I saw in a trash can last fall. Apples. I know everyone throws out (or better yet, composts!) an apple once in a while—one that got bruised or that we just couldn’t finish. But in this trash can, I saw more than 100 apples!
