Holly Butora, the boys reading teacher has just had them read the Cay. The Cay talks about racism in the story. As they read the book, the class would talk about what racism looked like and how it was being played out in the book. After many class discussions the class was asked to write a simile about racism. They then turned their simile into a worldal that compared racism to a real world topic. These boys choose fractions. I am showing this as an example of how deep the boys are now going to really learn about what they are doing in math. I was so impressed on how the boys were able to take a topic like fractions and compare it to racism.
