Week 31: Book to Film Extravaganza!

It has been such a fun week as we've watched "The Giver". Students have really focused on comparing and contrasting, but then, asking "why"?  This goes to director choice/audience and intent. I'm so proud of them to see this has really sparked some higher level discussions and thinking. Analzation helps students think and it's fun! I'm so pleased with what they have done this week.

Remember Monday is a PLC short day and Friday begins the Easter break (see details below). Thanks for the continued support and encouragement! Please email or call me (652-4742) with any questions. Enjoy your week!
