Grades 5–6
4 Sessions; 50 Minutes Each
Fantasy/SciFi, NarrativeProjectsThis book will transport you to worlds created by fifth graders at P.S. 316 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. In these short explorations of science fiction and fantasy, almost anything is possible--and sometimes the least likely paths are the ones taken. If you could choose your own adventures, you would most certainly select these. So take a seat, be it in your spaceship or on the back of your unicorn, and get ready for a wild ride.
