I would  like to encourage your children to document in a journal facts about what is happening in the world right now.  Document their thoughts, feelings, activities, and what they see on the news.  This is an historical event.  I am always telling them when we talk about Texas History that those people from the past were just regular people like us living their lives/trying to survive.  They didn’t know we would be reading about their lives/ the decisions they made/events they lived through.  I’m hoping students will document what is happening for future reference.   This event will be in future history books.

ALSO,

The book we were suppose to be reading this week and next is called Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo.  She is the same author that wrote Because of Winn Dixie which we read at the beginning of the year.  I have several activities already planned to accompany Tiger Rising which I will be glad to share online.  I will be posting those assignments here on my blog next week so students can complete them if they choose.

I truly miss each and every one of my students and I am looking forward to getting back to our routine.  I enjoy being at home, but I need/want to get back to work!

I look forward to seeing them soon and please check my blog for future assignments.

Enjoy your extra time with your kids!
