Curriculum Connections:
How to Survive Third Grade
Ernest Clark's situation is not unlike many
other children's experiences in third or fourth grade. Each thinks he
or she is the only one that is having the experience with other
classmates. Read about other third graders and discuss what is similar
about the main characters in each of the books -- as compared and
contrasted to Ernest.
