A Poem in My Pocket Day 2015

Thursday, April 30th is A Poem in My Pocket Day for 2015

Here is the poem I am going to pass out everywhere I go on Thursday:

Sold by Patricia McCormick

After we are done reading the novel A Monster Calls, we will be reading Nightjohn.  In the novel Nightjohn, we will look at slavery in the past and then reflect on slavery in our world today.  While I was shopping at Barnes and Noble with my daughter today, I came across the novel Sold by Patricia McCormick.  This novel shows one of the biggest problems we face in our world today: human trafficking.

I purchased the novel and am currently reading it.  Then I want to see the movie.

Google Science Fair

Some of you were telling me last week that you were upset that there was no one organizing the science fair at school this year.  I found this:  https://www.googlesciencefair.com/en/  If you are really interested in science, this many be something you would like to do.

I can't wait to see Insurgent!
