[CASL-L] First Chapter Fridays--High School?

[Ballachino, Laurie]

I love this idea! I teach K-5, and would love to collaborate for gr 3-5.
Maybe this idea could be extended to picture books being read by staff
members other than myself or the students' regular classroom teacher.

Barbara, do you already have chapter books that you are using for grades
3-5?
