My Project

I have an awesome fourth grade class. They and kind, respectful and love to learn! We would like to read a historical fiction book

Together as a class without having to share books.

These books will help teach my students social studies, practice comprehension strategies and improve vocabulary. I will use the book as a basic text. The teacher’s guide will help guide me in class discussions and lessons.

I have also included some hand soap so that we will have soap to wash our hands before lunch and recess.
