Habitat, Galvin's fourteenth poetry book, combines eighteen new works with lyric pieces from the past forty years -- including two book-length narratives, Wampanoag Traveler and Saints in Their Ox-Hide Boat. In a voice of quiet authority leavened with humor, Galvin intimately conveys his landscapes, birds and animals, people, and weather. By elevating the commonplace to the crucial, he takes his readers very far from the familiar.Habitat offers an opportunity to trace a remarkable poetic career. In their richly various shapes, colors, textures, and strategies, Galvin's poems bear witness to matters both joyful and intractable.Full of noose-around-the-neck wisecracks,
you'd have been an unwilling toiler, 
envying the horse its stamina, 
the hare its jagged speed over broken 
fields, and bog cotton its deference to wind
on peatlands against blue mountains, 
where it crowds white-headed 
as ancient peasants herded off the best
grazing, enduring as if they'd do better 
as plants hoarding minerals through winter,
hairy prodigals spinning existence from clouds,
from mistfall two days out of three, the odd
shoal of sun drifting across.

We have 5 VR Headsets and devices in our room, and when we teach small group instruction, we have the students watch a VR 360 video on a science topic.

We received our Kindles this week! We also have a membership to the website nearpod.com, and the students are engaged in an interactive lesson using their Kindles. Throughout the lesson, there are questions for the students to answer, pictures to draw, and quizzes to take. Each student is engaged and accountable during the lesson!]]> 2018-04-21 17:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinsibeto/h648kmjfyyc5/wish/254068483 kristinsibeto https://padlet.com/kristinsibeto/h648kmjfyyc5/wish/254068624 Padlet

I have really come to enjoy Padlet, and I think this is a great way for the students to make their scientific notebooks on bats! They are able to use Padlet on their Kindles, and it will help some of my more unorganized students stay organized with their notes.]]> 2018-04-21 17:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinsibeto/h648kmjfyyc5/wish/254068624 kristinsibeto https://padlet.com/kristinsibeto/h648kmjfyyc5/wish/254069252 Epic!
