My Project

That time of year has come where I give an end of the year reading survey. I always enjoy reading the responses and suggestions to make our classroom a better learning environment. I've had the pleasure of working with some of the most amazing 4th graders I've ever known. They come from diverse backgrounds and families, but they all share a love of learning and reading. These books are ones that my students most often suggested to get for our classroom library. They have popular characters an d many of them are part of a larger series.

Getting students to fall in love with a particular book character or series is a great way for them to grow as readers!

These books are a great starting point in growing our classroom library. My fourth graders will be so excited to see some of their favorites in our library!
