Week of April 16-20

CRCT Testing week has begun!  This week we have tested in Reading, Language Arts, and Math.  We will finish out testing on Monday and Tuesday with Science and Social Studies.  Everyone has been very cooperative and we all appreciate it!

We have also begun out Diary of Anne Frank unit by watching the documentary "I'm Still Here..." which brings to life the diaries of young people who experienced the horrors of the Holocaust.  We have all been touched by the stories and have spent some time reflecting on what we have heard by keeping our own journals.

Next week we will continue with background research on the Holocaust using a webquest activity in the computer lab.  We will be starting Anne Frank about mid-week.
