My Project

I need a class set of The One and Only Ivan because many of my copies are missing. Students love this book(who can blame them). I also want to get a few beginner reading versions of Ivan to make it more accessible to my struggling readers. Colored binder paper will make our writing projects a whole lot more fun!

The other novel, A Long Walk To Water, is a brief and very well done historical novel that takes place in South Sudan during two time periods.

It is told through the eyes of children and it inspiring! I can’t wait to read it again.
