We really started our Heritage unit today, delving into our new shared reading book, American Mosaic. The book is a collection of transcribed monologues from people who have immigrated to America from all over the world. Most of the pieces are very short and life-like, but their experiences are fascinating. We read about a little girl who grew up in Germany during World War II today, Hilda Gerhart. Her experience in the USA was not as fulfilling as she would have liked. We are hoping to transcribe our own monologues by the end of next week, if possible.
