Preface- The Meanings and Why

Hello dear readers,
           My name is Melly. I am starting out on my journey to become an Elementary school teacher and one of the resources I have begun collecting are poems, short stories, essays, novels, and other literary works. This blog will become my anthology, and I hope it will benefit others who are searching for different pieces to use in their classroom. My dream is to teach at a fourth grade level, mainly for my love of history, as well as children are in the transition of learning more factual knowledge and they need someone to help guide them gently into the world of knowledge.
        The Utah State Common Core has some specific language arts standards that can cross over into the social studies section. I want to have a small compilation of works to use in my future classroom. Every piece I list on this blog will correspond to common core and the lessons taught in fourth grade. I will give background on the author of the piece and also list links to the piece. I hope this anthology will be helpful to others and not only me. Enjoy reading and discovering new works through my blog.


Here are the links to the common core standards for fourth grade classes in Utah:
