ELEM: 5th grade fiction shelf, etc.

[Sarah Thorn <Sjthorn@AOL.COM>]

I'm thinking about creating a shelf of fiction books exclusively for 5th
graders in a K-5 school.  Have any of you done this, and if so, what is on it and
how is it handled?  I'd love to have some suggestions for titles for this
special shelf/shelves.

Also, how many of you restrict your primary kids (k-2) from checking out
certain fiction titles?  I'm of the opinion that even though a first grader is an
excellent reader, there are books that he/she isn't emotionally ready for.
What is the group's thoughts on this subject?

Thanks in advance for you input.
