Still away???? Need to catch up??? April 2nd

As some of you need to play catch up and a couple are still away here is where the class is at…

Today we had the wonderful M. Giard come present a restorative justice/Aboriginal culture workshop. Fantastic!!!

In terms of your reading of Touching Spirit Bear by Wed April 8th you should be at the end of chapter 10.  For each chapter (7,8,9,10) please write two questions (for the characters/author) and find two juicy quotes (and explain why you chose them)…  So 8 questions, 8 quotations…

Have a wonderful looooong weekend.

See you Wednesday!
