We started to read the book "Blubber" today. I figured we would start off with an easy one. We will be applying our knowledge of character traits to the characters of the book. The intent is to write a character analysis. The theme of the book is bullying, so it fits in well with Wamsutta's anti-bullying movement.
Ancient India is the current topic for social studies. We will learn how the georaphy and the climate affected life during that time, as well as the Buddist religion.
