Civil War pop-up books were awesome!! I enjoyed grading these and cannot wait to share them in the hall!! These were the best ever! :) I am so proud of your creativity and originality!
The following list was recently updated after I did a MASSIVE Barnes and Nobles order!! YAY!!! I hope the children are enjoying what we are reading and are being exposed to some different things that they wouldn't ordinarily choose. :)
********If you have any of the following books, and would like to donate them, we would LOVE to have(or borrow) them: Who Put That Hair In My Toothbrush?, My Teacher is An Alien, Freak the Mighty, Island of the Blue Dolphins, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Indian in the Cupboard, The Cay, or The Witches.*****
You can also go to www.abebooks.com to purchase used books for $1.00 each (plus shipping). If you use the same bookseller you only have to pay the shipping once which is an amazing deal!!! Makes an excellent present for birthdays (some of these books look brand new!)or teacher gifts (hint hint) :)
Thank you to all of the parents in the class for being so supportive and volunteering to help in so many ways!! I can tell it's going to be a great year!!
*******Students can go to the Study island website at home in order to practice reading, math, and science for the end of grade test.
