I'm excited for this upcoming week as we do more hand-on learning with our class novel "A Long Walk to Water". The novel is a true story about a young boy named Salva from Southern Sudan in the late 1990's who is one of the lost boys. This group of children were displaced during war and his story is truly inspirational. The author also weaves in a storyline of fictional Nya who lives in modern day Sudan and is struggling to find water for her family. I wanted students to get a taste of what it would be like to haul and filter water so stay tuned for pictures of this activity on Monday and Tuesday.
In Honors we are diving into "Wednesday Wars" and focusing on creating our first school newspaper. I'm so proud of these students and appreciate their hard work!
Hoping to see many of you at SEP's in October and thank you for your ongoing support!

If you can, please bring an empty 2 liter bottle to class on Monday (not 3rd period). Thanks!
