For our February Book of the Month, 5th graders dug deeper into
Under the Quilt of Night. They explored the book characters, noted the different settings, discussed the events, and observed the details that made an impact in the book. This book ties into their current studies of African American history for Black History Month. Be sure to check out
Under the Quilt of Night and its companion book,
Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt (both written by Deborah Hopkinson).
