"It's Monday...What Are You Reading?"

We are continuing our Social Change unit with a study of kids who make a difference in our world!  This week, we are studying a man named William Kamkwamba in his book The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.  He changed the lives of people in his village of Malawi by creating a windmill made of junkyard parts.  His windmill brings electricity and water to the drought-ravaged and starving village.  We are also reading "Here's My Dollar" in book clubs.  This book teaches about a girl named Angel who helps save a zoo by collecting one dollar at a time.  Both of these selections tie into our last week of Read to Feed!  Remind your child that kids, too, can make a difference!
