Reading Week Activity 3

Books with a Snack

Every day each class will be reading a different book with a food to go with it. That food or snack is mentioned somewhere in the book. A book is assigned to each class and they are responsible for bringing in enough snacks for five classes to enjoy. I post a list of 12 books and teachers sign up for which book they will read each day. The list of books and snacks that we have used for the past five years include:
