It was wonderful to see all the Lumberjacks on Friday. There was a lot of plaid in our classrooms! The Lumberjacks wrote conclusions to their essays, took a light and sound test, and munched on popcorn while watching The Lorax. We discussed how The Lorax is similar to what happened during the lumbering era. The jacks cut down all the trees for money, but made the mistake of not planting more trees. They cleared vast amounts of trees and never looked back, just looked forward to the next plot of land they could cut. Ask your child what job he/she would want at a lumber camp.
