My original post:
A fifth grade teacher at my school came to me with an interesting
problem. It seems that all of the books he has his students reading in
literature circles have death in them--some as a central issue and
others where it is just an incident in the book.
My question for you is do you know any good fifth grade literature
circle books without any death in them?
And the replies I received:
