Favorite Books of Room 203

We are currently reading Welcome Home, Jellybean by Marlene Fanta Shyer.  The children are realizing how certain words have different meaning to different people.  They will no longer use the word retarded when trying to hurt someone's feelings.  They look forward to reading this book everyday.
