Help me give my students books for the class library and to take home.

My Project

As a reader, nothing is better than "good read"--that book that you just can't put down, want to read again, stays with you for life; a story that makes you think, makes you smile and/or gives you a laugh.

These books are the latest selection featuring some our of favorite authors and characters and some introduced to us at the public library story time that I would like to add to our classroom library.

In addition we need a variety of ocean-themed stickers for projects in our upcoming ocean unit. I'm also requesting some sticker books that each child will have to practice and learn from, and take home.
