In school, 4th graders typically face new challenges and expectations. For example, 4th graders are expected to have made the shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." ~Mike Anderson (Educational Leadership: Vol. 68, issue 7)

My Bookshelf

Several of the books on my bookshelf, to the right, are books we have read in class.
"That's Good, That's Bad" is a wonderful book that contains a pattern the students love to repeat as I read. There are also many onomatopoeia, words that sound like a natural noise such as the word "moo" sounds like a cow mooing. The word "splat" sounds like something falling on the ground. The students enjoyed saying the words aloud with me and soon we will brainstorm as many onomatopoeia as we can so we may add them in our own writing.Click Clack Cows that Type also contains onomatopoeias.
