Homeschool Assignment Submission

My son is enjoying reading "Under the Blood Red Sun." He has much to say as part of his refelection and discussion. But before I share his activities, here's a snippet of what he wrote regarding his assignment on "Avatar":

"After watching Avatar I thought that it sent out a message, one that tells you to take another look at the world you live in and the environment that surrounds you on a daily basis. The love that the Na’vi have for the value of nature makes me wonder
about the nature on Earth. Day by day we destroy the most beautiful areas on Earth just to fit the needs of modern society, which has its benefits and cons. I feel that since we are people that populate this world, we should do more to help protect the nature from fading
away before Earth turns into another Mars."

The aformentioned ties in with different disciplines, such language arts, reading, mathematics, science, and social studies! I am delighted wlth his thought-reflective submission!
