Classroom Spotlight: What is Mrs. Neuhalfen reading?
Mrs. Neuhalfen loves to read books to her students every year! She is amazing! Her 3rd graders are currently enjoying Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin. This fantasy novel is about a young girl named Minli who embarks on a magical quest to change her family's fortune. Who doesn’t love a story with a loyal dragon, a wise goldfish, and talking lion statues! If your student is a fan of Grace Lin, they may also like The Girl Who Drank the Moon (Barnhill), When You Trap a Tiger (Keller), and The Unicorn Rescue Society (Gidwitz).

What is Mrs. Granrud reading? The Experiment by Rebecca Stead (recommended for 4th-5th graders). I'm only on page 40 and the main character, a sixth grade boy named Nathan, is growing a tiger tail! It turns out he is an alien from the planet Kast and his family is here on Earth for an experiment. Now his family is being called back to the Mothership, but Nathan doesn't want to leave his best friend, Victor. This book is Fiction for sure!
