Tomorrow it is back to school, after a wonderful spring break. Only 2.5 months of school left- summer break here we come!
I am looking forward to jumping back into our poetry unit, telling my students about my coffee date with Kathi Appelt, and continuing our Holocaust read-aloud and book clubs. That alarm is going to sound awfully loud, awfully early tomorrow! It’s always a jolt when you spend a week and a half relaxing. But back to the grind we must go.🙂

Hi,
I’m wondering what your Holocaust Read-aloud is. You may have mentioned it before, but I’ve been away for a few weeks and may have missed it. Our 8th grade also does a Holocaust unit and I’d love to pass on any good titles to them!
CM-
Our Holocaust read-aloud is Jane Yolen’s “The Devil’s Arthimetic”. It’s a phenomenal book!
Glad your break was wonderful! Those breaks are what rejuvenate me and make me a better teacher afterward!
Enjoy the next 2 1/2 months!
(I will be enjoying these last months, also, as soon as the state achievement tests are over for the kids next Wed.)
