Description

Class Experience

Students will be reading the books "Fish In A Tree" (by Lynda Hunt) and "The War That Saved My Life" (by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley), as well as supplementary texts and materials that I will post in the classroom. 

*Students will need to borrow or purchase their own copies of these books.* 

Students/parents should have a Google account to share assignments.
