My Project

At the end of last year, I hosted a book tasting with my upcoming 5th graders and they decided their best interest book this year was going to be A Fish in a Tree!

My students enjoyed book tasting with high interest books, it's quite engaging!

We will have a novel study using this chapter book. I will use the teacher pay teachers gift card to purchase a high-level, aligned with common core standards reading and writing unit to complete with the book. I will purchase puzzles and games aligned with this unit for students' enrichment.
