Black History Month

Reading workshops this week have combined social studies, reading and writing.  Our focus was to honor Black History Month through a series of quality books.  Throughout the week we read about Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, Ruby Bridges, and Rosa Parks.  Students began to learn to write a “constructed response.”  This entails answering a question about a text with complete sentences and examples from the book.  Lots of great effort went into this work.  We were proud of the rich conversations students engaged in; they felt strongly that all people should have equal rights!
