Read-A-Thon Week March 1 - 5
Our most recent novel is "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" by John Boyne. It compliments our combined Social Studies English Language Arts unit on World War II	We are fortunate to have a class set of the Chronicle Herald delivered to our classroom every day. What a great resource for both our English Language Arts AND our Social Studies classes!!
	We are  listening to A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle as Mrs. Driscoll reads to us and are discussing style and genre as we do.
