My Project

At the beginning of the year I read Third Grade Angels to my new 3rd graders and they loved it. When I read it to them I mentioned there is another book called Fourth Grade Rats, this is reference in the book. My students begged me to read it to them, but I don't have a copy.

I want to read Fourth Grade Rats with my students at the end of the year.

I want to do this as a whole class novel study. This will be a great way to come full circle with. I need a class set of books, some book marks so they can keep their spots in the book, and fidget toys for some students who need them to focus. The TPT card is buy novel studies worksheets and activities as we read. My kids will be so excited to read Fourth Grade Rats at the end of the year.
