Our Current Novel Study and the Six Pillars of Character!

We are currently reading the book Seedfolks by Sid Fleischman.

Not only is this a wonderful, uplifting tale of a neighborhood transformed when a young girl plants a few lima beans in an abandoned lot, but it is completely aligned with our studies of the Six Pillars of Character! There are examples and lessons woven through the story of Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship--all the Six Pillars! What wonderful lessons this book teaches! Please ask your child about this inspiring story, where each chapter is told in the voice of a different member of the neighborhood!

Please look for your child's completed novel study work and responses to be coming home soon after we finish this book!
