Today we started reading Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. Prior to reading this book, we read and discussed The Butterfly by Patricia Polacco because the themes and plots are similar. In chapter one we learn a bit about the setting and were introduced to a few characters. Right now the story takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark and our main characters appear to be Ellen Rosen and Annemarie Johansen. Copenhagen has been under Nazi occupation for the last three years. We are reading this book together to help tie into our Skype learning with Ms. Angst's brother who is in Berlin, Germany right now.
