Today we reread Kai's Journey to Gold Mountain, and we read at the actual book that includes this story in its entirety. The book gave us further background about Kai's journey as it began in his homeland of China. During the time that this story was written, the United States had very specific requirements regarding immigration from China.
Students took a comprehension, vocabulary, and extended response assessment.
We have several other books about immigrants available in our classroom for challenge reading, including Chun Ten comes to America, In my Own Country, Two Brothers from Italy, and How Many Days to America?
We will have our Spelling Unit 4 test on Friday, which is a 10:35 early dismissal half day.
