[LM_NET] Hit: 3rd grade read alouds

["Bzdusek, Shiloh" <shiloh.bzdusek@D300.ORG>]

Thanks for all the help on 3rd grade read alouds. I love having a list to refer to 
now so..... If anyone wants to email me there suggestions for 1,2,4 and 5th grade I 
will compile those and post them as a hit.  I know everyone is busy so I will wait 
a week or so for responses and then work on the lists if anyone is interested.

I added some of the subject headings to  this list because that is how I compiled 
it for the teacher who asked. Hope it is not confusing
