Holocaust+Unit


 * April 2011 - Language Arts / Social Studies Unit**
 * The Holocaust**
 * As part of our unit of study, Mr. Hill will be reading John Boyne's novel, __The Boy In the Striped Pajamas__ aloud.**

//Berlin 1942:// //When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move from their home to a new house far far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he can see in the distance.//

//But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.//


 * As well, we will be attending a presentation on Thursday, May 12th from 1-2:30 pm at which a holocaust survivor will be presenting.**
