This week we started some exciting new lessons in DEB. In 5/6 DEB, we are going to be reading Breaking Stalin's Nose by Eugene Yelchin. We will be analyzing the many different conflicts in this Newbery Honor book, as well as comparing what we've learned about the US government and the government during the Stalinist era in the USSR. In 3/4 DEB, we are beginning to look at how culture influences one's perspective. We completed a problem solving activity, which simulated being shipwrecked on a tropical island and forming a new civilization. Next week, we will begin to look closely at how various cultures develop stories that have common themes and ideas.
Have a great weekend!
