Reading with 4th Grade

Help me give my students their own copy of The One and Only Ruby.

My Project

The One and Only Ruby tells Ruby's story from her young days in Africa to her life now at the animal sanctuary. This story is a continuation of The One and Only Ivan. Ruby is the baby elephant from that story.

The One and Only Ruby would be a great addition for my fourth grade class.

It is important for each student to have their own copy of the book, where they can read along with me. Having their own copy will allow them to reread when necessary and reference the text for writing responses and reflections.
