Novel Studies:
Every 4th grade student will need to purchase the following novels. The links to purchase each one are found below:
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane By Kate DiCamillo <-- Please have this book purchased & ready by January 8th. If students have them now, I will collect them & keep them in the classroom.
ISBN 10: 0763647837 ISBN 13: 9780763647834
ISBN 10: 0440413281 ISBN 13: 9780440413288
**Please purchase the paperback version of each book. It is challenging to have class discussions when there are students with different page numbers. These books will belong to the student. I have attached the Amazon link above for convenience. Please do NOT have your student read ahead.**
