Before starting “A Long Walk to Water” in English, students modeled how water moves into the ground in aquifers and how wells tap into this for people to use. They also did a water scarcity lab in English today before starting the book next week. @CanonMacMS

We mourn the passing of astronaut Bill Anders, lunar module pilot for Apollo 8, and backup pilot for the Gemini XI and Apollo 11 flights. One of the first three people to travel beyond the reach of our Earth and orbit the Moon, Anders took the legendary Earthrise photo. More on his legacy: go.nasa.gov/4aO6VUo
