My Project

These were some of my absolute favorite books as a kid, and I would love the opportunity to re-event the magic with my 4th graders! I plan to have class read aloud's with students, to build literacy and love for literature! And to eventually build literature circles where students read different books in different groups.

We don't have any class sets at my school.

This would give my students the opportunity to have their very own book in their hands! I want my students to be able to appreciate literature and reading from a real life book. This book will turn some 4th graders into book lovers.
