Readathon, April 11:  A day of reading.  Students may come in pajamas and bring sleeping bags, pillow, a stuffed animal and of course, books for a day of lounging and reading.  Adults are welcome to join us to read.  More details soon. 

Today in Strawberry:  Students are finishing their persuasive writings, and we have begun to have students read them aloud during an author's share.  We are also reading a variety of picture books about people who have made or been a part of change in Califronia, including Cesar Chavez (yesterday) and John Muir today.  Our other read aloud is In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson by Bette Bao Lord, a novel about a Chinese immigrant family in New York.  For those students keeping track remotely, we are just at page 29 (mid-chapter).
