Mrs. Schmitz taught a creative way to get 4th grade ELA students excited about reading different genres of books! Students did a book tasting. It was a great opportunity for students to explore new and unfamiliar types of literature, just like they might try new foods at a restaurant. It's a chance to sample a little bit of everything and discover new favorites along the way. The students loved getting to dive into all sorts of different books and genres. Who knows, maybe some of them even found a new favorite author or series! 📚🍽️ | | |
