Clementine's Letter by Sara Pennypacker

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Clementine is the B-E-S-T best. This third grader is full of fantastic ideas, and although they sometimes get her into trouble, you can be sure she had the best of intentions, and they are always fun to read about. Her parents and teacher know just how to help Clementine do her best, but can she figure out the rules with a new substitute teacher?

Fall Fun

I can still hear the lawn mowers going 'round outside, but each night it is getting colder and fall is on the way. I've started looking for great crafts, activities and songs for fall, and I thought I would share what I found with you! Enjoy!
