6th: Today we began class with some verb practice. Then we did some more verb practice on verb tense with the whole class. Afterwards, we read chapter 6 of BWWF as a whole class and did a wrap up together with our foldables.
Homework: Read 30 minutes and record on reading calendar.
7th: Today we began by sharing out some essays that we wrote for 2 essay contests. There are some amazing writers in our class- wow! Then, we broke off into 2 groups and read aloud chapters 14 and 15 of the Breadwinner, finishing the book. From there, we discussed our perspectives of this book and what lingering questions we had related to Afghanistan and the Taliban. We wrote down these lingering questions on stickies and will build from them in the next few days as we start to discuss the real-life context of the book. After that, we had an Afghan food day with delicious foods made by Kalei, Vinnie, Reid, Joshua and Maya. Thank you so much!
Homework: read for 30 minutes and record.
