As a culmination to our Interpreting Characters unit, Sistine Bailey, one of the main characters in The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo, "visited" the fourth grade.
I recently gathered all seventh-grade students during the Advisory Plus period to begin a series of workshops on building community in the Middle School.
How many of you had "chores" assigned to you when you were younger? I did. In my childhood home, I was asked to collect the trash, wash the dishes or load the dishwasher after a meal, mow the lawn, and make my bed before leaving for school. Did I like it at the time? No. Did I learn from it? Yes.
