21 out of 50. Whew. I am almost half-way!!! :)
Keep it up, Crystal! You're doing great! BTW, I just noticed The 13 Clocks on your list. I read that to all of my library classes in April. SUCH a great book! I was still noticing new fun details even on the tenth time through.
I also love Snowflake Bentley and base an entire library lesson around him. Did you know you can still get the books of his snowflake photographs?
Luann - are you an elementary library teacher also? I teach first through fifth graders in my library.
I am! My school has grades 4-6. I teach each class once a week.
