How will your class show compassion? Write your class name and act of compassion on this heart. Together our school will display shamrocks on how “lucky” we are to have each other.
Book of the Month:
Train to Somewhere by Eve Bunting
“In the late 1800s, Marianne travels westward on the Orphan Train in hopes of being placed with a caring family. Marianne, heading west with fourteen other children on an Orphan Train, is sure her mother will show up at one of the stations along the way. When her mother left Marianne at the orphanage, hadn’t she promised she’d come for her after making a new life in the West? Stop after stop goes by, and there’s no sign of her mother in the crowds that come to look over the children. No one shows any interest in adopting shy, plain Marianne, either. But that’s all right: She has to be free for her mother to claim her. Then the train pulls into its final stop, a town called Somewhere . . .”
