Wednesday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had a very productive day. The kids and I discussed the Holocaust for a good 30 minutes, and the conversation was quite powerful. They were asking about the background of the novel we are reading and why the Jewish people of Denmark were being harassed by the Nazis. We explored the ideas of anti-Semitism, genocide and Auschwitz. We didn't reference any photographs or archival footage, and instead discussed our collective understandings.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- math 25.4 (triangles)
- vocabulary
- continue with science project

Respectfully,
Mr. Bryant
