We are reading an article about girls education. Did you know over 121 million people don't go to school, Almost 65 million of them are girls. Some countries don't even think girls should go to school. I don't think that's fair that only boys should go to school, do you think it's fair?

We also read about a kid called T.J. He helped raised $1,325 for the less fortunate people. UNICEF is helping 158 countries and territories get food supplies, clean water, vaccines to protect people from diseases and school supplies and emergency relief to children and their families.

In reader's workshop, we worked on reading a text more than once. The benefit is amazing! The text was challenging and was taken from the informational text called Show Me The Money. We read it last week and this week. After buzzing with a buddy, we went around the class playing "give one get one". We give a fact and get a new one from a friend. We now have a better understanding of the facts!
