The week ahead...

 

Brambleheart

We are starting our One Book, One School this week, featuring the book Brambleheart.  I hope your students enjoyed the introductory activities on Friday!

Here's the link to the chapter introductions with links to the readings.  These introductions include a short summary of the chapter, new characters, any new vocabulary, and sometimes a question to listen for. I'm hoping these introductions will help build schema before the chapter is read.

We are looking to do a Zoom meeting with the author on the morning of April 9th.  We are scheduling it to work around specials and the Forward schedule.  Please let Sue know if you have questions.

A reminder that this Friday (early release) is door decorating - it can be very simple.  Our theme is the friendship and kindness shared between the characters in the book.
