ReadingReading is the backbone of our classroom. It is my belief that a strong reading program will lay the foundation for many years of academic success and a love for learning. During the school year, the kids will complete four major book reports; one per quarter. In addition to individual book reports, the students and I will read a class novel, together, each quarter. Finally, I will try to complete two read aloud books each quarter, so the kids should be reading a minimum of, sixteen books in their fourth grade year.
Reading logs, partner reading, informational texts, and Journeys are also a large part of the reading program in class. There are details in the sections below that elaborate more in projects and assignments.
