This week we read two books by local authors all about life during the shutdown in the spring and life during this time of the Coronavirus. The first was called 'Together, Apart' written and illustrated by the local mother-daughter duo Katerina Mertikas and Loukia Zigoumis.
The second book is called 'The Great Pause' by the Sketchbook Project. Local artist, designer and Algonquin College Professor Andrea Lesia Emery, did the beautiful artwork in the book.
We used the 'making connections' reading strategy in order to make text-to-self connections to both stories. We reflected on our time during the school shutdown that began in March and shared our experiences during this strange time. Next, the students will begin to write about their own shutdown experiences last spring!
