This week in Literacy:
In Module 4 we will explore the impact of water around the world! Find out standards, goals, and more by clicking this link to the parent information letter.
Our students are working SO hard on their Public Service Announcements (PSA’s) regarding the inequality of clean water in our world. We read the story of Salva Dut, a lost boy from wartorn Southern Sudan who overcame incredible hardships to eventually find a better life, then give back to those still living in extreme poverty. Students had a hard time not DOing something, so part of our proceeds from the Food Truck Rodeo sharing/Family night will go to Water for Southern Sudan. word-SouthernSudan
