Hi Joy:  my students are completing an author study of books by Chris
Van Allsburg.  They love his books and we are having deep discussions
and thinking.  I am also reading The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
by Kate DiCammilo (sp)--they love it and we've learned so many good
vocabulary words which the kiddos are eagerly including in their
wriiting. Because of Winn Dixie is great for character development and
descriptive writing.  I read The Velvelteen Rabbit to them prior to ET.
I used to read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe every year, but am
skipping this year cause of last year's movie release. Lastly, an older
book I use every year is My Father's Dragon--author is Ruth G.--can't
remember.

Hi everyone! Our school has asked all teachers to create a wish list of
books 
for our classrooms. They can be prof. dev. books, but I'd rather have
some 
classroom sets of books. I'm looking for essential texts for a fourth
grade 
class, those books you can't do without.
   
  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  How children learn is as important as what they learn: process and
content go 
hand in hand. http://www.responsiveclassroom.org
