Reading

Right Now in Reading we are reading a book called Parvana’s Journey. It sets in Afghanistan while a war is going on. In the prequel The Breadwinner Taliban took over Kabul, Afghanistan where the main character Parvana lived. After Parvana’s sister Nooria went to get married in Mazar, Afghanistan the Taliban took over there too. In Parvana’s Journey, Parvana is trying to find her family. Find out if Parvana finds her family and becomes happy again. Also, this year we have to read five MCBA books. MCBA stands for Massachusetts Children’s book award. Some titles include Found, The Green Glass Sea, Swindle, My Haunted House and The Lemonade War. Also the kids of Massachusetts vote for the best MCBA book in February. The book that gets the most votes wins the Award. Lastly, in guided reading this session we are reading books that are about people who are different in some way and make a difference. The books are Schooled, The Liberation of Gabriel King and Loser. We finish up our books this week. That’s it for today!
