A DAY IN THE WOODS
Nine first and second graders from Lori Brown’s Healey School classroom stepped off a bus recently into a crisp and sunny November morning at the edge of the Middlesex Fells Reservation in Medford. They were warmly welcomed by the Waypoint Adventure staff members who would be leading the day’s adventure. Eighth grade Shady Hill School students met them to partner for the field trip.

Healey School’s 7th grade ELA teacher Emma Daniels wanted to start off her poetry unit a little differently. So she launched the unit with students reading Kwame Alexander’s Newbery medal-winning novel in verse, The Crossover, to make poetry more accessible to her class.
