I enjoy the Delta Education books. They are well written and have beautiful illustrations and photos.
Love the idea of reading to help others.
I love the activities to go go along with “Wimpy Kid”. They are the most checked out books in my classroom library and I am always searching for ideas that will enhance learning in my reading class.
I absolutely love the Delta Science readers. I use them in my science lessons, reading lessons, and small groups to cover the topics.
I’d love to win and read “Sarah Gives Thanks”

I would absolutely love to win and read a copy of the new Diary of a wimpy kid book the third wheel.
I will download the free materials to go along with the new Wimpy Kid book. My daughter absllutely loves them.
I use the Delta series with my resource students that happen to be all boys grades 2 and 3! They love to explore the why of nature and always enjoy a time of “off track” to look and talk about the books.
The Delta Science materials look fabulous! I love integrated literacy within the classroom!
I like the Delta books and having them to support common core. I think my third graders would enjoy learning about how Thanksgiving became a holiday.
SARAH GIVES THANKS looks like a good book. My students would like it.
