[MOSAIC] Books for 4th gr. Wish List

[David Hoh]

Joy,
Essential texts for 4th grade? That's a tall order, but as a 6th grade 
teacher (formerly 4th in NC) I hope kids leaving 4th grade have read 
thoughtfully Maniac Magee, The Hundred Dresses, Frindle, Because of 
Winn-Dixie. I know some of those may be read in third grade, but I think 
that's too early to deal with the deeper themes. For teaching writing, I 
want Craft Lessons by Fletcher and Portalupi.
