As far as other read alouds, I did: The Kid in the Red Jacket, Hatchet, Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul, and The Best School Year Ever. For class units, I did: Brian's Winter, Where the Red Fern Grows, Holes, The Cay, and The Hidden. I love doing novels with the kids! That's my favorite part of the day!
