A Scuba Diver Shows Us Things She Has Discovered Under the Connecticut River




Mrs. Walior's friend Annette visited last Friday.  She loves to scuba dive and she does it almost every weekend here in Brattleboro.  She is looking for rocks that were carved by Native Americans hundreds of years ago.  So far she hasn't found them, but she has found some very interesting things under the Connecticut River and near the Retreat Meadows.

Addie is taking notes about Anansi the spider.  She is making a web on her ipad to describe how Anansi is greedy.  Perle is using her web to write a paragraph about how Anansi is greedy.

This is Perle's web showing evidence from the text.
