Crash

Our first novel together is about two young men who live in the same neighborhood and come from drastically different backgrounds and home lives. They are forced to either conform or be true to themselves. Our students will learn to identify and empathize with both characters. This novel will help us with character development, main idea, supporting details, theme, and dialogue.

Star Students

~Congratulations to Andersen and Tristan for being the Ape Crew's first STAR Student of the school year! They both worked hard, got along with classmates and were good role models for younger Sea Turtle students!
