Our November Book of the Month is My Red Balloon by Eve Bunting. This book is about a young boy who is eagerly awaiting the arrival of his father. His father has been serving in the Navy and he is afraid that he won't recognize him so he a red balloon to his wrist. My students had connections to this text as we have many military families in our school. We are the school that serves Jacksonville Naval Air Station. Right now, two students have fathers that are preparing to return after a tour in Afghanistan! The class made "Welcome Back" banners for these men.
