Just a heads up, third graders at Bedwell are doing their first book report. Several students have had books rejected by the teacher. From the rejected titles, it appears that the books were considered too difficult or at the wrong level. If you are helping a student select a book, try locating a book that is appropriate for 2nd-4th grade. Some of the publishers note reading levels on the back of the book, or you can use Novelist lexicon rating to help students find appropriate books.

Fourth grade is working on their country project. Although some of the books are showing a status of "In" they are not on the shelf and have not been used since the last country report. Share a few of the online resources, such as CIA Factbook or Facts on File World Atlas with the students if the books cannot be found.
