The Books My Fifth Graders are Reading as we Beg for Spring by Colby Sharp
Hey, Nerdy friends! It has been a minute since I checked in the on the blog to share the books my fifth graders are reading. We’ve had a bit of an interesting last few weeks here in Michigan. We had a very late arriving winter, and now that it is here, it doesn’t seem to want to leave! We had an epic ice storm a couple of weeks ago that caused all the schools in my county to close for 3 days, and we are expecting another storm at the end of this week. I’m not sure what the groundhog predicted, but I don’t think it was this!
During these weird times, my fifth graders have continued to grow as reader. Hanging out with them each day talking about books never gets old. In the video below, I share the books that they are currently reading. They are reading so many AMAZING books!
