Experiencing Edward's joys and hardships helped students understand that everyone faces challenges—some more difficult than others. Flora and Ulysses beautifully tied into our theme of friendship and reminded us how important it is in our lives.\r\n\r\nThe 4th graders are eagerly awaiting their turn to begin Fourth Grade Rats in our next unit.
