Elementary Classroom Book Recs
I teach 4th Grade and every single one of these books was hand-picked and purchased by me throughout this year! There are plenty more to come, but these stand out as the ones my students really loved the most!
I love to add as many relevant and current people to my classroom library as possible!
Who Is Kamala Harris? (Who HQ Now)
Love the Royal Family - or be wrong in my book! - this is another example of relevant and current people to add to your classroom library!
King Charles III: A Little Golden Book Biography
My girl, The Queen, absolutely belongs in my classroom library. I bet your students would enjoy this as well!
Queen Elizabeth II: A Little Golden Book Biography
Ugh - no one wants to be reminded, but this is likely one of the BIGGEST world events to happen in your student's lives. Have it represented!
What Is the Coronavirus Disease COVID-19?
We don't get political in 4th grade, so please don't get political here either. Again, a relevant person and “current-ish” event for your student's to research.
Dr. Fauci: A Little Golden Book Biography
Let's keep growing that classroom library!
Joe Biden: A Little Golden Book Biography
For your sports fans! What is the World Cup? Huge hit for your soccer kids!
What Is the World Cup? (What Was?)
Does this book actually need to be justified? I didn't think so. Buy it. You won't regret it!
Taylor Swift: A Little Golden Book Biography
I mean, come on. It's The Rock! I have no further words.
Who Is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson? (Who HQ Now)
Great book for your sports kids! Definitely recommend for your classroom library!
Who Was Kobe Bryant? (Who HQ Now)
Wonderful book, fantastic illustrations and a good reference point for students just starting to learn about the world away from their own backyards.
Where Is the Great Barrier Reef?
This is a great book for any kid, any age! Let's be honest - it is likely a great refresher for teachers as well!
Where Is Our Solar System?
I added this because of how much *I* love this book! If you haven't read the One and Only Ivan, please start there. This is a FANTASTIC series for any elementary students to listen to as a whole class read aloud!
The One and Only Ruby
so good!
The One and Only Family
