Who Ran My Underwear Up The Flagpole by Jerry SpinelliMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Guided Reading level U: Very witty story about four students in grade 5 and the how the friendship these characters have make them better. Lots of humor in text. I'd use this text to work on vocabulary and character relationships.

I really enjoyed these particular texts and put labels below for both of them. Great stories that I highly recommend and plan on using with my guided reading groups this Fall. I am excited that I still have two more weeks to read and reflect on the texts my children and I are reading.
