Week 4: February 16-22
What My Fifth Grade Boys Read
1. Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
2. How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell
3. Magic Tree House by Mary Pope Osborne
4. The Hardy Boys
Rationale:
I am a girl, I have 3 daughters, and I like girly books. In stark contrast with my home life, I teach almost all boys. They have different interests and different needs than girls. Though I may know American Girl, Junie B Jones, and The Jewel Fairies, I do not have a lot of background in boy’s books. This is a list of books three of my students (all 5th grade boys) said they would like for me to read aloud. They were excited to get to choose. Though the books are all in one week’s theme, I will be reading them over a period of time aloud in class. I hope it will help my gentlemen with special needs fit in a little more easily with their same age peers.
