Update - 4 and a half weeks left

Hi all -
There are four and a half weeks left of your summer break, hope you all have been reading up! I know you all are reading different books at different times, so use this blog to ask me questions and to discuss the books. We can discuss the characters, plots, themes, etc.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi all!

I hope all of you are having a safe and fun summer. I have been very busy - I was at Gallaudet University for 2 and a half weeks training to become an ASL/English mentor at SSSD. O'Rourke and I were there together and we worked with teachers from all over the United States. We did one year's worth of work in 2 weeks! We read 4 books and more than 20 articles, all about bilingual education (learning in two languages), and wrote a total of 24 essays!

Have you all read Night yet? If so, what did you learn about the author and the Holocaust?
