Welcome Back

~We worked on finishing our rough drafts of our World War I reports today. All rough drafts should be finished by the end of the day Tuesday. The reports look awesome so far. Final drafts should be finished by Friday. Look for the finished products on the bulletin board by the end of the week.

~We are seeing the second phase of the Nazi plan to annihilate the Jews of Europe in our novel, ISOLATION. The Milgroms have been forced into the Warsaw ghetto, and we finally met Janina's family. Life is still bearable but becoming increasingly difficult. The wall is going up as we read.
Connection: This is an actual section of the ghetto wall still standing in Warsaw today.

Connection: This is a picture similar to what Misha saw. These are actual Polish Jews being marched to the ghetto.

~Welcome back Karson, we missed you!
