[MOSAIC] lessons and literature to practice connections GR 2 3

[thedorrs at comcast.net]

I agree with finding a book you love, however, I will list a couple I love...
Keeping Quilt and most anything by Patricia Polacco
Owen, Chysanthemum, and most of Kevin Henke's stuff.

I did a lesson with a file folder that I read about on this list. If you search the archives you can probably spot it. If not, e-mail me and I can explain it. thedorrs at comcast.net
