Lit Circles
By Tabitha/5th

Clip to ScrapBook   
I plan on introducing lit. circles using a story from our basal with the whole class. Then I plan on using one book with the whole class and finally breaking them up into different lit. circles with different books. This
will be my first year using them and I got a great book called "Literature Circles Using Student Interaction To Improve Reading Comprehension" by Creative Teaching Press. I got it at my local teacher store, but you can order it from www.crystalsprings.com as well.

I plan on using the following great books with my students this year:
Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit
Bridge to

Terabithia by Paterson
Nothing's Fair in Fifth Grade by Barthe DeClements
Holes by Louis Sachar (Awesome book)
There's A Boy In The Girl's Bathroom by Louis Sachar
Farewell, My Lunchbag By Bruce Hale (Cute Mystery)
The Egypt Game by Zipha Keatly Snyder (mystery)
Hank The Cowdog by John Erickson
My Teacher Glows In The Dark by Bruce Coville (Science fiction)
Not sure on historical ficition yet, but I might use Goerge Washington's Socks by Elvire Woodruff.

I am acutally looking for historical fiction books around the Civil War. Anyone got a great book?
