Red:  Crafts for Kwanzaa by Kathy Ross
Orange:  When Washington Crossed the Deleware:  A Wintertime Story for Young Patriots by Lynne Cheney

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 December holiday books you've read.
Happy reading,
