STUDENTS AT WORK Students in Mr. Dudley's classes spent last week applying the five senses to their reading to heighten text-to-self connections and to enhance comprehension. Classes were also competing in bell-ringer quizzes. 5th period won this competition and earned a reward. Their reward was to spend class creating a recipe for a trail mix and constructing an essay to detail how a reader might experience the five senses when reading their recipes. Of course, that was followed by enjoying their trail mix creations! #LHWolfNation
