Wright LA week of May 5th

We start the novel Holes by Louis Sachar this week.  This is a fantastic novel that connects characters and a storyline that stretches over three generations.  It's also a fantastic movie that you can watch on Netflix, but PLEASE wait until we finish reading to watch it.  We will do so in class when we get done!!
