November 4th - November 8, 2013

Dear Family Members:

This week we’re reading A Castle on Viola Street. It’s about a family who wants to live in a nice house. The family and the neighbors work together to fix up old houses so people can live in them. We learned that the theme is the message of the story. We think the theme in this book is helping one another can lead to wonderful things.
