For the remainder of the school year, we will be reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This is Mrs. Dubois' absolute favorite novel to read AND to teach. If you are not familiar with C.S. Lewis' work, he was an atheist early in life then experienced a conversion to Christianity. He is known for his many essays on Christianity. His Chronicles of Narnia series is based on his faith and contains many Christian themes. If you have never read the book, I highly suggest you take this opportunity to enjoy it along with your fourth grader.

We will do all of the reading in class; unless your child is absent, of course, then he or she will need to catch up at home. All study information will be posted on Google Classroom, including vocabulary and guided questions. The novels we are using in class are “well-loved” and have seen much better days, so I have asked the students to leave them at school. If they need to read at home, they can use the PDF of the book I posted on Google Classroom.

I am so very excited to journey to Narnia with the class as we end this wonderful school year!
