Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents,
I would like to take the time to update my parents on what we will be doing for the next few weeks in Language class. We are going to read "the Cay". Some of the parents might be familiar with the book but it is a story about an Eleven- year-old boy named Philip who is traveling on a ship that is torpedoed by Germans during World War II. He suddenly finds himself blind and floating on a wooden raft with a West Indian named Timothy. The raft drifts to a barren Carribean island, where the two unlikely companions remain stranded. With help from Timoth, Philip learns to survive and gradually overcomes his prejudice.
Thank you,
Tr. Merve :)
