Can anyone suggest a nice picture book to read to fifth graders for the end of the year? I didn't think to mention that our fifth graders are in our middle school so they won't be going on to a different school next year. I was thinking of something having to do with summer or the end of the year or reading during the summer. ********************************************************************** "Pat Bartoshesky" <bartoapple@comcast.net> Friday - June 1, 2007 10:44 PM To: "Diana Wendell" <dwendell@PORTBYRON.CNYRIC.ORG> Subject: Re: End-of-Year story Attachments: Mime.822 (3419 bytes) [View] [Save As] Last Day Blues by Julie Danneberg (author of First Day Jitters) <dickinson1@k12tn.net> Friday - June 1, 2007 10:03 PM To: "Diana Wendell" <dwendell@PORTBYRON.CNYRIC.ORG> Subject: Re: MID: End-of-Year story Attachments: Mime.822 (4261 bytes) [View] [Save As] Before school was out here, I gave one of my fifth grade teachers "The Quiltmaker's Gift" to read to her class. She was very pleased, and the kids enjoyed the story too. http://www.quiltmakersgift.com/ I read "Oh, the places you can go" by Dr.Seuss to the fifth graders. Mini Prasad (University Lake School mprasad@universitylake.org) One of my volunteers brought in a book to me today that I will be sharing with my 4th, 5th and 6th graders. It's called Richard Wright and the Library Card by William Miller. This is a story of a black boy in the segregated South who isn't allowed in the public library. The boy loves to read, but has no money to purchase books and cannot access the free books at the library. With help from a white man, he finds a way to access the books. The books he read during this time changed his life. Great intro to summer reading and the importance of getting that public library card.

It is my tradition to read it on the morning news on the last day of school. It is cute and funny but I always cry when I get to the last page :( Who'd ever think we would actually miss them year after year ??
