New Books and Exciting Stuff!

The last two weeks have been a joy! I have really enjoyed lead teaching and am soooo proud of all the work you have done. Your personal narratives look great! You all put a lot of hard work into writing, revising, and editing. Thank you for that hard work.

Over the past few weeks we have been studying author and artist Tomie dePaola. He is one of my favorite authors as you know.

Some of my favorites we have read are:

Tom



26 Fairmont Avenue



The Baby Sister





What were your favorites?

Happy Reading!

A great new book!

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments. I am so glad that you love these books!
I also heard of a few new books from your posts. Thank you!

Here is a great picture book that is set in Maine that I think you may all enjoy. Halee and I have read it together. I will bring it in to share as well.
