6th: Today, was cultural celebration day! We broke off into small groups and shared our completed pizza box projects with one another and gave each other positive feedback on those projects. Then, we shared a huge meal of foods from all of our personal cultures. Parents, ask you students about all of the different foods they tried today. Then, we reviewed the Amir chapter of Seedfolks and together read the final, Florence chapter of the book.
Homework: What is a message or theme of the book Seedfolks? Write down your thoughts and bring it to class on Monday.
7th: Today we began class by summing up the reading we did for homework, chapters 16-19. We wrote down deep-thinking discussion questions and then got together in groups to have book conversations. Then, we presented out what we had talked about in groups. Finally, we got in partner groups to compare/contrast 2 types of government and reflect on the type of government we thought existed in Jonas' community. We will begin class on Monday by talking about these things.
Homework: Read chapters 20-23 and do an activity for each chapter, due Tuesday.
