Welcome to the first official day of the Esperanza Rising blog.   Hopefully you have all begun reading the book and are excited to share comments.

Today, describe the geographical setting where Esperanza lives.

Welcome to the Esperanza Rising Blog for all Grand Rapids Public Schools 5th grade students.   Over the next three months you will be commenting on questions that are posted to you as well as read and comment on posts and questions created by classrooms in other schools.  This is going to be an informative and fun place to talk about this wonderful novel written by Pam Munoz Ryan, who will also be visiting us in March, 2016.  

We can't wait to get started on the 30th of November with your first question.   Enjoy the book and happy blogging!
