During the first week of school, which started on August 23rd, the kids were assigned some science/literature assignments on the topic of Dudley.  All of the kids drew a tobacco hornworm.  Elijah and Luke were asked to write in their journal as if they were Dudley.  This was an opportunity to be creative, pretend to be a worm, pretend that worms have feelings and emotions, and write in the first person.
