4th graders

One thing I love about this age group is that they are still young enough that they get excited about small things at school. There are very few times when I announce an assignment that I hear groans. Instead, I usually hear at least a couple of students say "yes!" I have been reading the students a Harriet Tubman biography during morning meeting. The students are very interested in it. One morning they were so wrapped up in the book, that they were continuing to ask questions and talk about it as I tried to transition into the firstlesson of the day. It is great to see them get so much out of the book.
