The Memory String by Eve Bunting is wonderful! I also really like Bad Dog, Marley by John Grogan. Granted a dog is not necessarily an object, but it's such a cute and desriptive story. Amy Swan 3rd Grade Teacher Cedar Creek Elementary (913)780-7360 CHECK OUT OUR CLASS WEBPAGE!!

ng the way of things. Honestly, kids can't help but participate. The coolest thing is when other staff or parents drop by - they are so amazed and usually end up sucked into the conversation as well! Amy Swan 3rd Grade Teacher Cedar Creek Elementary (913)780-7360 CHECK OUT OUR CLASS WEBPAGE
