Sixth Grade - Out of the Dust Day - Friday

We are coming to the end of our novel, Out of the Dust, and I hope your children have learned about the trials and tribulations experienced during the Dust Bowl.  The novel does end on a hopeful note, and we will be having discussions and writing to a prompt about hope after the Christmas break.

I have suggested that the children bring some kind of food mentioned in the story on Friday, December 19.  They can bring enough for their group of five, and it can be as simple as apples, milk with dust sprinkles (crushed oreos?), apple pie etc.  It certainly doesn't need to be elaborate!  They all have plenty of ideas!  :)

About Me

I am so happy to be a part of All Saints Catholic School again! I was born and raised in Surrey, England and started my teaching career there. Interestingly, my high school was called St. Anne's College! My husband and I emigrated in 1981 and became United States citizens in 1994. Our two daughters both attended All Saints and Bishop Kelley, and I was active in the All Saints P.T.O and served on the school board during that time. I taught English Language Arts, mainly at the pre-AP level, at Sequoyah and Childers middle schools from 2001-2014. My first love has always been literature, so I am delighted to be sharing that love with your children this year!
