4th Grade collections Presentation


Our fourth graders have finished studying the collections of books available at the Elementary School Library. Now, in groups of five or six they will be presenting different collections for thier classmates. They will describe the kinds of books in each and how these books are arranged and then try to convince us theirs is the best set of books available and we just NEED to go there. They can do this in different ways, and knowing our students...they will be very creative. I can hardly wait to see what they will come up with.
