A New Chapter Begins

Help me give my students the novel, Fourth Grade Rats, to start the school year!

My Project

This year, I am transitioning back into a fourth-grade classroom. I would love to begin the year by introducing students to the novel, Fourth Grade Rats. This book will serve as an important part of our reading block at the beginning of the year. It will help students build reading skills, engage in meaningful discussions, and connect with the story.

My goal is to ignite a love for reading from the very start of the year and create excitement around exploring new books and stories together.

I can't wait to get started!
