@JamesPonti Love this! We have book #1 on our district reading list and it keeps flying off the shelves! I loved it, too! After book #1, do the books need to be read in order?

5th grd Ss are thinking about their reading past & present & noticing how they have grown as readers. They're getting ready for the Letters About Literature project & will write to authors about a book that had an impact on them. We're off to a great start!

K Ss are practicing reading nonfiction! They r reading the pictures, asking questions, and finding special words about their topic! They added a cover pic of themselves reading to create their own “I can read nonfiction “ book! Good work K! @AmbroseSchool
