[LM_NET] TAR: Read alouds for 3rd-5th

["Power, Amanda" <PowerA@MIDDLETOWNK12.ORG>]

Another LMnetter posted a hit about "Frindle," which mentioned Spinelli's "Library 
Card." I would love to share more literature with my 3rd through 5th graders, but 
are concerned about them sitting through a whole book (40 minutes at a time). There 
are also scheduling concerns, and sometimes I won't see a class for weeks.
 
Does anyone have other recommendations like "The Library Card" --in other words, 
something that is a collection of short stories for this age group?
 
In addition, any tips or ideas for class read alouds would be much appreciated!
 
TIA,
