I am absolutely, positively, obsessed with children’s books! It’s great for my classroom library, but not so great on my wallet… but I just can’t get enough of them! It’s literally a joke in my classroom… many of our Mondays begin with a discussion about where I went over the weekend, and the kids all know immediately that I will be talking about some great new books I picked up for them at the bookstore! They even know the name of my favorite bookstore, (and no, it’s not B&N)!
We have been reading lots of great books the past few weeks for Black History Month, and the kids have been so interested in learning about slavery and the Civil Rights Movement that I just HAD to go see what other books I could find on the topics! After a trip to the bookstore this evening (not my favorite… it was already closed for the evening), I came home with this bunch:
What are you doing for Black History Month? Any good book recommendations I should add to my list?
Just became a new follower! Love your new blog!
Oh…I am very excited when I find fourth grade blogs!!!
Like Kelly, I am a new follower and get excited when I find 4th grade blogs. Your book selection is excellent! Have you read The Story of Jonas? It's a chapter book about a slave boy wanting to find freedom during the Civil War. It's a great read!

I LOVE The Story of Ruby Bridges! It is such a great book that students can really connect with and relate to because they are close to the age she was when the story happened.
Thanks for sharing such a good book list! I'm your newest follower!

Thanks for sharing these books! I'll be checking them out. Our read aloud this month is Dear America: A Picture of Freedom, the Diary of Clotee. It is a great one, too!
