My Project

The books that are selected are books that align with the standards we are required to work on during 4th grade. Two classics by Chris Van Allsburg help students practice inferencing. Each Kindness, an award winning book, helps students practice summarizing and theme while learning how their actions can affect others.

Not only do these books align with our practicing standards, they are great books that will keep students engaged and help promote a love of literature.

I have learned from the past that several of Patricia Polacco's stories are very engaging. Students fall in love with her stories and love to find out that there is even some truth to them.

Lastly, there are several chapter books that not only align with our standards, but provide an enrichment piece for my Talented and Gifted students. The reading level of these books are perfect to continue to not only give students practice in standards, but give them that small push to continue to grow in their education. These books will not only help the group I have now, but will continue to help every class I have in the future.
