MIDDLE SCHOOL ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS!
Here some 6th grades are filling out the KWL chart we created. They are beginning a novel, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
Their teacher, Mrs. Roberson is excited to start this book with this class. She hopes it will show the students how precious life is and how we all may seem different, in reality we are all very much the same. She says, "I love the way this book overcomes prejudices and demonstrates the friendship that two individuals can share with each other despite their diverse backgrounds and family structures. "
The students put this KWL chart together to discuss what they know about the Holocaust and what they would like to know. They will fill out the last piece when we read through the story and discuss what this meant during WWII.
ABOUT US

The school's history can be traced back over several years and it has been restructured several times. In 1970, the Aurora school was renamed S. W. after Mr. Seward Webb Snowden who was a dedicated principal from the 1940s to the 1960s.
