Book Talks
Don't forget about the book projects! By the end of fourth grade, each student needs to have completed nine (9, nove, nueve, count 'em nine) book talks. After your fantastic fourth grader reads a book that they really enjoyed, ask them if they would like to build some sort of project around it. It can take on any form; diorama, iPad infomercial, skit, interview, poster, t-shirt...or even the old school paper + pencil report...so long as it accurately addresses the book and is meaningful to the reader and they are happy to talk about it in front of their peers!
