Top Ten Books


The children worked very hard ........
First they chose a book that they enjoyed reading.
Then they surveyed the second grade to determine the favorite book .
The children read the book with a buddy and completed a book review.
When the children were finished Mrs. Granchelli helped us create the green screen.
We hope you enjoy!
