Ready to Read! Books for the Bibliophiles of Our Room
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
This is my very first year in the fourth grade. For my entire teaching career, I have always taught fifth grade. This year we are changing things up and I couldn't be more excited. My fourth graders are full of energy and a love for reading. I need to freshen up my classroom library in order to keep up with my ever-evolving bibliophiles. Having taught 5th grade my entire career, I am in need of age-appropriate novels for my new students.
My Project
Having moved down to fourth grade, my classroom library is in serious need of a makeover. Reading should not be presented as a chore, but offered as a gift. Please help give my students the chance to explore new and exciting genres. Book choices tell us a lot about our students. Help me learn about their interests and dreams for the future by creating a library that has a variety rich in literature, from sports to make believe. The novels will be used for individual reading, read aloud, and book club. Help me spark a love for books inside my students.
