This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
We're starting a unit on World War II where we are focussing on Japanese internement camps. I'd like my kids to have a class set of the book Dash to follow along with. This is a great 4th grade level book that helps students really understrand what life was like during this period in time.
Dash is a great story featuring an adorable dog and eleven-year-old Mitsi Kashino.
Mitsi and her family are forced to move to a Japanese internment camp following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese-Americans are forced to leave their homes, their jobs, and all but what they can carry.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
