7/8/2017 0 Comments After ReadingNetflix has a great documentary available entitled 9/11: Stories in Fragments that I would recommend watching with them. It follows the story of people that were actually there and the items that were donated to the Smithsonian exhibit after the fact. This will be a great visual piece for your student to build background knowledge not only on 9/11, but on the Smithsonian and New York as well.
I hope you and your student have enjoyed following along this with me! It was an experiment for me as well-but I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and will continue to recommend it to my students of this age group. I think it does a great job of teaching compassion, heroism and true character through the eyes of someone they can relate to; as well as teaching them about this historic day in a non-graphic way. I will begin Holes ASAP! That should be much more fun and lighthearted, so keep checking back in!

Playday is over. Awards have been handed out. Tears have been shed. And the last bell has rung.
IT'S SUMMER TIME, YA'LL! Now, before all that wonderful, beautiful knowledge falls out their ears, let's get our kids hooked up with some amazing reading for the summer. Go ahead and order your copy! (Sorry, it doesn't look like it's available at the public library.) I will be beginning the work through it on Monday!
