BOOK FAIR - MONDAY 11/6 (TOMORROW!)
Our class shopping day is MONDAY, NOV. 6th (TOMORROW). Please send money in with your students if they would like to purchase books. Also, there are a number of books available that we would LOVE to have added to our classroom library. Most are less than $10. If you would like to send your child in with a little extra cash to choose a book to donate to our class library, the kids (and their book-loving teacher) would be over the moon!! We generally tag the book to honor the student who donated it.
Some of our "wish list" titles are:
Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom
In the Shadow of the Sun
Sink or Swim
10 True Tales: World War II Heroes
The Plot to Kill Hitler
The Testing
The Boys Who Challenged Hitler
