My Project

This is the second half of the Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) books along with a few other great titles. The additional books are from some series the kids have been wanting to have in class. Some basic classroom supplies are also included.

The books will be used this year, next year, and many years ahead.

The titles are especially engaging for ten and eleven year old students. The supplies are mostly to prepare for next year.

The plastic envelopes and pens will help keep us organized, provide for communication between home and school, and help us check our work.
