A Closer Look
Hi Parents!
Reading:
This is the moment they’ve all been waiting for….We’re reading Holes!! This class has been begging me to read this novel since last year
Stanley Yelnats, a boy who has bad luck due to a curse placed on his great- great-grandfather, is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp, for a crime he did not commit. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced to dig large holes in the dirt every day. Stanley eventually realizes that they are digging these holes because the Warden is searching for something.
We will work on Reading skills and strategies and vocabulary as we read.
