📚 A Special Guest for 8th Grade English! ❤️🖤
Our 8th grade English students welcomed Sgt. Dodson to the FTB Library for a special presentation connected to their reading of Red Kayak.
In the novel, Brady must decide whether to protect his friends or tell the truth after a prank results in a tragic death. His decision eventually leads to a criminal investigation and raises an important question for our students: What happens when a juvenile is accused of a crime?
Sgt. Dodson helped answer that question by explaining how the juvenile justice process works, sharing what life may look like in a juvenile detention center, and answering plenty of student questions about different situations and scenarios.
Thank you to Sgt. Dodson for spending time with our 8th graders and helping connect their classroom reading to the real world! ❤️🖤

Bringing literature to life! 📚❤️🖤
8th grade students in Mrs. Rave's class are currently reading Red Kayak. In the novel, the main character joins a search party on the Corsica River and ultimately finds and rescues a 3-year-old boy, performing CPR to help save his life.
Today, students made a real-world connection to the story by learning the basics of CPR and getting hands-on practice in class! Students practiced CPR techniques using both adult and infant training mannequins.
What a great way to connect what students are reading to important real-life skills! ❤️🖤
