Today, I introduced the novel Of Mice and Men. This meant the students did a journal that ties to the idea of homelessness and then engaged in a discussion about boom and bust cycles. We then watched part of a video about the 1920s (what led to the "bust") and then, specifically, focused on the prairies and soil erosion.
The students fund it difficult to grasp not having a job, being able to get a job, or being able to sell items (no one to buy them in a true "bust", or no one to buy them at the price expected).
We will continue this introduction tomorrow.
Parent-teacher interviews are tonight and tomorrow night from 7 to 9 pm. Please let parents know. Further, I will only be there until 8 tomorrow (Wed.). Please schedule with this in mind.
