Dear Parents,
On March, we will be celebrating Read Across America . This year, the students have fallen in LOVE with our classroom read-aloud books. I think it would be fun for our students to make boxes that represent something (character, setting, object, etc.) from one of the books they have read. I have included a list of some of our classroom favorites. You may pick from this list or have your child pick his or her favorite book and use it as inspiration to create a box (Kleenex box). We will be participating in an activity in which students will try to guess the book that belongs to the box.
