Ruby Bridges

Here's a video book trailer from Scholastic to get you interested in the book Ruby Bridges Goes to School:  My True Story by Ruby Bridges.  What do you think?

Citizenship Rainbow

Book Challenge:  Citizenship Rainbow


Welcome to your first book challenge!  This one will challenge you to read a citizenship rainbow.  Here are ten books that go along with the citizenship theme.  To meet the challenge you must read three citizenship books and they each must have a different color.  Here are ten suggested books, but you can read other citizenship books too:

Red:  Being a Good Citizen:  A Book About Citizenship (Way to Be!) by Mary Small
Orange:  Writing the U.S. Constitution (Our American Story) by Lori Mortensen
Orange:  Emma's Poem:  The Voice of the Statue of Liberty by Linda Glaser
Yellow:  Living in Rural Communities by Kristin Sterling
Yellow:  Alphabet City by Stephen T. Johnson
Green:  The Flag We Love by Pam Munoz Ryan
Blue:  Clifford's Good Deeds by Norman Bridwell
Blue:  The Colors of Us by Karen Katz
Purple:  Class President (Marvin Redpost, No. 5) by Louis Sachar
Purple:  Henry and Mudge in Puddle Trouble by Cynthia Rylant

You can read these books at home or in class.  Just remember to put them on your reading log!  Almost all of these books can be found in either the Morris Plains or the Morris County Library and many of them are available in our classroom.  

Use the comments section to make comments, ask questions, or tell us other great citizenship books you've read.
Happy reading,
Miss Kramer
