So.... we checked out "No Talking" - and again were delighted to find a funny, suspenseful, positive, and smart story-line written for fifth and sixth graders. | When my oldest son brought me "Frindle" and recommended I read it, I was happy to oblige. Funny and suspenseful, the positive message of this story caused both my son and I to want to read more. Next thing I knew, my son had reserved as many Andrew Clements' books as he could find at the library. And.. with each new book, the message was clear: Andrew Clement was once a classroom teacher. |
These books would correspond perfectly to classroom studies of:
Lunch Money = Math & Business
Lost & Found = Twins
The Last Holiday Convert = Music & Band
A Week in the Woods = Outdoor School
Extra Credit= Geography & Current Events
The School Story = Writing
