Literature Fair October 6, 2026

The Literature Fair will be here before we know it! 

All fourth grades are required to participate.  I would go ahead and purchase a project board because they seem to get limited closer to the fair.      
Set up for the fair will be on October 5 and the date for the NLCA fair is October 6. 

Students need to start deciding on a book to read. Once they have decided on a book please have them bring it in or send me the information via Class Dojo or email. Book information due: Friday, September 11, 2026.

The project is to be completed by the student. Adults may help, but the board has to be their own work. All students need to have a 3-5 minute presentation prepared to tell about their board.

Paperwork with further information was sent home 9/2/26. Please message or email with any questions! I can’t wait to see their projects.
