The following books were brought to the attention of interested teachers at the NYSRA Assembly of Delegates Meeting in Albany, NY.  They were identified as valuable additions to your classroom or building level library.
The next meeting will be held on Sat. March 6, 2010. The theme will be “Tracks” as in race tracks, train tracks, animal tracks and explorers’ tracks.  This is in keeping with the 2010 NYSRA Conference Theme, On Track with Literacy!
