Exciting news from Mrs. Stryjek's 5th grade ELA WIN group! The scholars have just completed their novel study of "Out of My Mind" by Sharon Draper. They've been diving deep into the themes of the book through independent discussions and student-led learning. To celebrate their hard work and achievements, they enjoyed a special viewing of the new Disney movie adaptation of the book. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to compare and contrast the novel with its movie version. Great job, everyone!
