I'd never heard of that book, and my current anthology is lacking in stories that track changing characters' relationships! amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252920643013195783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763670682969260926.post-36498369606566534602013-02-20T23:23:22.701-05:002013-02-20T23:23:22.701-05:00Love the diversity of the books you present.

We just don't teach enough about her! I'm not sure this is Lesson Utopia (love that term) but I have tried hard this year to use the same book/story over several days (CCSS). I always thought kids would get bored if I referred to the same story for too long but they don't. It really does make a difference when you can go back to a book you have already read and use it for a variety of skills.<br />Gina<br /><b><a href="http://beachsandplans.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Beach Sand and Lesson Plans</a></b>Beach Sand and Lesson Planshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124515062607188342noreply@blogger.com
