A Train To Somewhere

Dear 3C,
This week we will be reading a book-"A Train To Somewhere" by Eve Bunting. It's a realistic fiction story about the 1850s to the 1920s when thousands of homeless children were sent from New York City by train to families in the Midwest in the hope they would be adopted.
I know all of you will enjoy the book as much as I did. Eve Bunting does a great job of helping us infer how difficult this was for children. I can't wait to share it with you!
What other books or movies have you read or seen about orphan children?
What other Eve Bunting books have you read?

Weekly Homework

Sra. Silvia and I have been having trouble helping students understand their responsibilities with homework. Many students are returning homework without a parent signature, without all the reading completed, or with unacceptable forms of free writing. I hope that this post will help parents understand homework in order to help students at home. Thank you parents!

Pesto Pasta

Hello Everyone,
Today third grade celebrated two very important occasions. First the completion of NECAP, and our basil harvest. Ms. Kate came and helped us mix all the ingredients to make pest pasta. Have you celebrated something recently? Do you help mix ingredients at home? How did the NECAP go?
Love,
Ms. Cynthia

Guess who sits here...

2nd Graders have been waiting to hear their voices.
