Yikes! This was the week of NOISE! It's amazing how kids just don't seem to be bothered by it. Not sure if it was because of 2 three-day weekends or what. Whew!

Still progressing with CYRM books. The Monday kids will be a couple of weeks behind so I'll have to catch them up quickly in order to get the voting done and sent in by April 1.

Mostly checkout this week but some work on I, Doko talking about treatment of elders and a compare and contrast lesson for the younger students on the 3 different stories they've heard. Very interesting to see how their minds work. Some come up with insights that I wouldn't have thought of where others are totally off base. It will be interesting to do a final wrap-up with all 5 books to see what they're able to pull together.

Next week - lesson on map reading and coordinates for olders students in preparation for reading The Cats of Krasinski Square. Also some front-loading information on WWII and the Warsaw Ghetto. Found a great picture to show them that the drawing in the book was probably taken from. Hopefully, this will help them to realize that this is real stuff.
