Shawmut Hills book of the next few weeks....


Sideways Stories From Wayside School has been and always will be one of my FAVORITE books. Seriously, I remember reading it when I was a student way back when. It was first published in 1978, and based on the "feedback" from the 1st -4th graders over the years at Shawmut, this book stands the test of time!


This book contains 30 delightful stories about the students and staff at Wayside School. From a teacher who hates children, but LOVES apples, to a teacher who is terribly nice, but wonders aloud "What do they think I am? I'm a teacher not a zoo keeper!".
Then, there are the students... some struggle with math, some struggle with reading, some struggle with staying awake in class. Sound familiar? You'd think so until you read their stories!

The only problem I have with this book is that I don't have enough copies for every student who wants one!
