ONLY 10 MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL!
Have you read, The Lightening Thief, by Rick Riordan? We will begin reading this action-packed, mythological adventure as soon as we are finished taking our TAKS test. I can't wait!
The Cay, by Theodore Taylor, is a coming of age, adventure tale, of a young boy and an old man. Their story is set in the Caribbean Sea, in 1942, during WWII. Both boy and man find themselves in a fight for survival. This story helps readers decide whether friendship and trust is based on race, culture or social status.
Through engaging literature selections and captivating writing pieces, students will find their voice!
