Week of May 9 – 13

Hello there! Thanks for checking in with me this week.  We are wrapping up our school year with a study of The Great Depression and World War 2.  The students have been reading  a book by Avi called Did You Know There’s a War On?  This book tells the story of Howie, a boy living in America during WW2.  The students seem to really be enjoying it!  Have them tell you their favorite part so far 🙂
