The children are so excited to share the titles of the books they will read in class each month.  Many of the books are so wonderful that the children would love to read them again and again!  Just check with the librarian to sign out a book.
The children have provided the summary and rating for each of books.  Just click on the title. Happy Reading !
     We hope to reach our goal of reading  100 books by December 2009.  We are registered at Scholastic Classrooms Care.  Our class will donate books to children in need.  We will decide as a class where our books will be donated so keep on reading.
