What Are You Reading in November, 3rd Grade?

We are getting ready to do our shopping, and so there will be lots of posts this month as we share more books that we are reading.

                   In November I read Ish by Peter Reynolds.  Ramon loves to
                   draw, but his brother Leon laughs at his drawings because
                   they don't look "real".  Ramon is discouraged and decides
                   to stop drawing.  However, his sister Marisol tells him his 
                   drawings are "ish,"  which means they are close.  Ramon
                   discovers he loves to draw tree-ish, flower-ish, and
                   other -ish pictures.
