Making connections

WAl to Make Connections between the real world and a text 

Room 20 has been reading the book bridge to Terabithia In the story. It was raining really hard and the whole creek was swollen and flooded.  Yesterday It was pouring here as well so we decided to do some authentic learning.  We made some rain coats out of plastic bags and walked down to see the creek behind the school! We could see the water flowing fast and the plants that were flattened.  I thought that the creek was rushing insanely fast.  So I could see why Jessie was scared to swing across the creek because of how fast and strong the current was.
