We have completed our Books in Bloom project! It came out so cute. The kids decided on a 'fairy garden' idea. For our last literature circle book group, all of our books deal with social situations- and mostly take place in school setting. Many of the themes deal with bullying, acceptance, perseverance, peer pressure, and other elements of social awareness!
The books were, "Bridge to Terabithia" by Katherine Paterson, "The Revealers" by Doug Wilhelm, "Loser" by Jerry Spinelli, and "Flying Solo" by Ralph Fletcher.
In coming up with a common theme for all four books, we decided on
"ACCEPTING YOURSELF AND ACCEPTING OTHERS"
Each group created a fairy garden, with a house for the author and a flower that connected the common theme to their book.
