Support Material Week 220th -24th April 2020

We are going to read the novel Holes by Louis Sachar over the coming weeks. It is a magnificent read and one the children will thoroughly enjoy. If you have the hard copy or have a kindle or other you can access it through those means. I am also attaching a link to a free pdf copy of the entire book and if you have access to a printer it may be worth printing it in its entirety. Otherwise you can just follow online.

http://www.hayatschool.com/kuwait/articles/Holes_by_Louis_Sachar1.pdf is the link.

I implore with the children to read only the assigned pages each day as confusion may ensue as a result of reading ahead/ falling behind.

Adopting a Pet from the PoundOwning a pet from the pound or Animal Rescue League has

many advantages. First of all, a child feels good about rescuing an abandoned or abused animal and giving it a whole new life. Besides, if the animals from the pound aren’t adopted right away, they might be put to sleep. Having a pet also means lots of responsibilities. A child has to feed, clean up after, brush, and exercise the pet.

Another great advantage of having a pet from the pound is the price of these cute and cuddly animals. Pets from the pound cost only a few dollars while pets at a fancy pet store can cost hundreds of dollars.

Once you adopt a pet from the Animal Rescue League, it will quickly become a part of your family. If you are thinking of adopting a pet, you might consider choosing a dog or a cat. Dogs and cats can bring lots of happy times to a family, and they can be excellent companions for a person who lives alone or someone who has lost a loved one. Dogs are also a wonderful source of protection. Cats are funny, and they may help to calm people down when they are sad or mad.

Please consider adopting an animal. If you remember all of the advantages of adopting a pet from the pound, you might find the bird, mouse, hamster, dog, or cat of your choice.
