Reading: 
We read and discussed Ruby Bridges and then watched the movie. We did a "Tear/Share" activity in order to discuss further. The Fighting Ground set in the Revolutionary War period is the main novel of our genre unit. We began this unit Friday by reading Katie's Trunk that is a short historical fiction book written from the perspective of a Tory. We discussed what a Tory, Rebel, Patriot, and Loyalist were and some information about the cause of the war. They will learn more about this in Social Studies.
