Perfect Read Aloud

I taught fourth grade, which covers California. White Water was a perfect book to read to my kids after they came in from lunch recess. The chapters are short, so only took 10 minutes or so, but they always ended with a "KEEP READING" reaction from the kids. We were able to chart the characters progress on our CA map, so did what they called "Sneaky education" since it fit in with Social Studies. It also gave us some good discussion questions.

He and His Father's Vacation

I like this book because it had a kid in there just like me that helped his father out. His father got bitten by a snake and his son rafted all the way back to the yellow bus. Then his father went to the hospital and the two sons went to see him. His father said "Next time when we go on vacation, you can pick where ever you want to go."

Greatest book ever

I thought this book was very action-packed.It really made me want to go white water rafting.When I read the first page of that book,I knew it was going to be really cool.So,if you like white water rafting books,then this is the book for you.

Exciting and realistic for the middle schooled reader

White Water is a story about a boy named Greg whose parents are divorced. He only gets to see his father one weekend a month. When he visits his father each month, they both switch off and pick what they are going to do. This time it was his fathers pick and he picked to go white water rafting, at first he was against Greg was against the idea of going so was his mother. When his parents found out he was listeningin on their conversation about this they made him go. To find out what happens on this adventure i strongly recommend getting this book and reading it u won't regret it.
