Hi
Some of the novels my 5th graders have really enjoyed:
+Sign of the Beaver is ALWAYS a favorite
+Number the Stars - I will never forget the year when one of my tough boys
had tears in his eyes when we finished this book.
+Tuck Everlasting - ALWAYS a favorite. Last year did this novel whole group
during the two weeks of state testing. Was a good break for us all.
+The Kid in the Red Jacket - have had kids howling with laughter
+Hatchet - always a favorite
+Ruby Holler - YEA!!
As for read alouds - 21 Balloons - they love all the inventions and the idea
of diamonds.
I know there are others - but I have been on summer vacation for three weeks
and I have forgotten - HA!!!
