6th Graders

The 6th graders are beginning the novel Number the Stars which is a work of historical fiction by American author Lois Lowry. It is about the escape of a Jewish family from Copenhagen during World War II. Today, the students kicked off this novel study by choosing subtopics that will be included in this story to research. They gathered their notes and will use them to write a three-paragraph essay tomorrow which will be collected for a grade.
