My Project

Help me give my third graders new novel studies. Each year I have a volunteer come to my class weekly from a local church and she reads novels to my third graders. I would love to get each student their own copy to follow along with and help to read. We start each year with Third Grade Angels. Then we read the first book of the Clementine Series. My volunteer ends Clementine by getting all the kids Clementines for Halloween and making them a pot of Lentils for each of them to try. Then by the end of the year, we finish with Fourth Grade Rats to get them excited about moving on to the fourth grade. All of these books would really make my volunteers' time even more magical for all of my third graders.
