    1. What do you believe ants can teach us about how to responsibly respond to the opportunities that the land gives us?
    2. In answering, make sure to use details from the text to support your answer (specifically around how humans have responded to the opportunities the environment has presented - namely irresponsibly).  





Below are some links to texts which promote mindsets that we are seeking to develop in our  class this year in order to enhance our learning experiences.  Each text is a teacher writing to their student in an effort to provide encouragement.  I hope you enjoy them.  Please let me know what you think :)  

I encourage you to share and discuss these with your parents.  In order to view them, I believe you will need to be logged into your Google Apps account.
