First Chapter Friday

I will be reading the first chapter of a new book every Friday.  Hopefully, the students will want to read some of these books on their own!  Most of these books are readily available at the Glen Ridge Public Library or can be ordered through the BCCLS system and delivered to the library.  Easy!
