Parent/Teacher Conference....my students asked for a book list

If you have any additions please leave me a post!

Mrs. McShinsky’s Book List

Every mom’s purse and dad’s wallet should have a scrape of paper with a booklist on it. The best list is your very own that you make up, but there are times when it is fun to see what other people recommend. I do like adventure stories, so if my list looks a little lopsided you will know why. It will also be every changing. It is amazing what 27 letters of the alphabet can do.
