Thirst Book Study for 4th grade

Help me give my students an awesome new book, Thirst, that we will be reading as a class novel, and a TpT gift card for resources to use what we read in the book to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dykes's classroom raised $639

My Project

Book studies are one of my student’s favorite way to incorporate literature, writing, and other skills needed to master 4th grade. Thirst was a top rated book for upper elementary students. My kids love doing book studies, and I know they would love to read this book all together. The TpT (Teachers pay Teachers) gift card will be used to buy a book study that has already been created by another amazing teacher. The TpT funds will also be used to purchase morning resources for the kiddos to use every morning as they come in class.
