This week, the advanced Reading class begins a new novel, Lyddie. It is a historical fiction selection about a girl learning to adapt to the pressures of providing for her family. Hopefully you will learn something about the working conditions in the 1800s by the end of the novel.
The Wanderer has entertained the other students with its "high seas" adventures. This week, the main character Sophie will learn to deal with living on a boat with her cousins and uncles.
Book reports begin on December 5. Be prepared to give your speech on Wednesday. Feel free to bring in your projects early if you'd like.
