My Project

This year I was asked to lead the fourth grade team. Most of my experience is in early childhood (first grade). So many of my books are too easy for my fourth grade readers. When I moved to this grade level, there were very few novels purchased by previous team leads. In order for my students to access texts to hone their skills, we need a wide variety of diverse books. We have worked so hard to raise their deficits left over from COVID, adding these novels to our school would allow them to not only continue to grow in their general reading ability, but to increase and expand their knowledge of the world around them.
