Today our class finished the novel. At this moment we are working on making two meaningful connections and how to summarize the book. I will be sending the books home this weekend. There are two things I would like parents to look at:
1. Yellow Stickies: Please take some time to look through your child's book and see what they have written on their yellow stickies. The yellow stickes are designed to give some idea into what your child is "thinking" as they read. In particular, students were focusing on writing deep questions, connections and any inferences they may have made.
2. With the upcoming Rememberance Day Ceremonies, please take some time to ask your child how this book is connected to Rememberance Day. Many students have learnt that even after war during peaceful times, the effects of war can linger for years if not decades after the fact. Lastly, this book has given us an opportunity to remind us that Rememberance Day is extremely important to our country and the freedom we currently have. It is hoped that on the November 11th at 11 a.m., students will stop what they are doing and take a few minutes to think about those who sacrificed so much for our country.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
