We are currently working on reading a book called “The Holocaust Rescuer.” We are writing down and studying the words in the book that we don’t know. We have an assigned time that we have to study then we are tested on the words through a multiple choice test. Throughout the book we answer questions chosen by Mrs. Goldsmith. We have to answer the questions in full sentences that must be at least a paragraph long. If the questions are not answered correctly we are deducted points from our grade since the questions are our work for the entire week. Also throughout the year we are reading different books and doing the same to them.

Here are our vocabulary words and definitions from the book:

1. Ungainly– clumsy
