Lucky Stars
A Graphic Novel (Mr. Wolf's Class #3)
Checking Availibility...Description
Every day in Mr. Wolf's class is an adventure... even when you have to stay home from school!
Mr. Wolf's students are having a "writer's workshop" and are learning about personal narratives. Sampson doesn't think anything worth writing about has ever happened to him. But when he and Margot go for a bike ride one morning, he has an accident that gives him a new perspective, and he thanks his lucky stars that he's going to be okay. Meanwhile, Penny gives treats to the rats at school so that they'll leave gifts for her, and Stewart and Oliver try to learn how to get along at recess.
