Virginia Reads One Book:  The Toothpaste Millionaire

Once again our school will be participating in the One Book, One School.  This year we will be joining with hundreds of other schools across the state of Virginia in reading the book Toothpaste Millionaire.   If your child is the oldest member in our school, he/she will be bringing home your family’s copy of the book.  I will list the chapters to be read each night on our class blog and the weekly memo.  A read aloud version will also be available on the CAES homepage.
