Subject: [MOSAIC] Grade 4

> Being primarily an early childhood teacher, my sudden move to 4th grade 
> (yesterday) has left me speechless and resourceless.  All summer I have 
> been preparing to teach 2nd but my principal moved me to 4th after a 
> teacher resigned.  In addition, I will have the same students I had 
> last year as a 3rd grade teacher.  unfortunately they will be using the 
> same old classroom library.
> 
> 4th grade seems to be a 'tween grade - not early childhood - not 
> middle.   Where do I start?  Can someone explain the essence of the 4th 
> grade reader/learner?  Any good websites you use - anything.
> 
> If there was a resource book other 4th grade teachers would recommend - 
> what would it be?
> Thanks,
> Bernadette
