*Literacy Program:
This site is great!  There is a featured book with activities for each week (due to our schedules I have added books and activities to my files to use during down times such as August, September, and June - just ask me).  The work is basically done for you.  You probably already have most of the books on the list anyway!  There are a lot of graphing skills and author/illustrator activities.
