5th Grade News.....

It's good to be back in my rocking chair reading "Milkweed" with the Apes and the Heroes. Things are really changing fast in Warsaw! Remember when Uri, Misha, and the other orphan boys could throw food around? Now, it's hard to even find a loaf of bread! But, these hard times have brought Misha and Uri closer together. Uri gave Misha a "life story" and Misha has given Uri someone to love! We have finally been introduced to Janina. Isn't she a little like Amanda Beale? Did you like the Hazelnut Creams???? Now you know why Misha thought they were so special.

I heard you started your Response to "The Children We Remember". I can't wait to read them.

I'm looking forward to our Luncheon tomorrow.... my ham is in the oven......

See you tomorrow....

Love you.... Mrs. P

We love to read "Milkweed" with Mr. G.....
