Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving from Mary Ann, Erika, Grace, and Katie at The Classroom Bookshelf. We will be back next week, offering a few more favorites from 2015 before the year ends. We are grateful for the work we do, and the opportunity to share it with you and your students.
If you are looking for a read aloud for these next few days before the holiday, you might find our entry for Melissa Stewart’s Balloons Over Broadway of interest.
