Kindergarten Northwest Current Article
Every week Sheridan students write an article that gets published in the Northwest Current. Take a look at the kindergarten's article that will be published next week about the Thanksgiving assembly.
We have been learning about homelessness. We watched a movie about homeless kids and families and talked about what we learned and what surprised us. Some people had to live in a van. One boy came home from school and the door to his house was locked because it wasn’t his house anymore. His mom lost her job and they couldn’t pay for anything anymore and they couldn’t do anything about it. A house costs more than 100 dollars, even more than 200 dollars. Sometimes they have to split up their family. Sometimes people had to use candles because the electricity was gone. The electricity was gone because they didn’t have any money. They don’t have many games to play, like math games or word games. They don’t have much food to eat because they don’t have any money to buy food. It was kind of surprising that you can’t go to sleep if you are hungry. You are trying and trying to go to sleep but you just wake up in five minutes because your stomach hurts. It would be scary to be homeless because you don’t have any food or a place to sleep.
