In reading, we completed reading The Transcontinental Railroad and began Coolies, a story about 2 brothers, Shek and Wong, who immigrate to California and their experience working on building the transcontinental railroad, including discrimination they face for being Chinese. Students will be creating a story element lantern when we complete the book

Wishing everyone a great week!
