THE LAST FIFTH GRADE OF EMERSON ELEMENTARY
New York : Wendy Lamb, 2016Eighteen kids, one year of poems, one school set to close. Two yellow bulldozers crouched outside, ready to eat the building in one greedy gulp. But whose idea was it to close the school, anyway? Can the students possibly figure out a way to change their minds? But look out, bulldozers. Ms. Hill’s fifth-grade class has plans for you. They’re going to speak up and work together to save their school. Ideas are put forward, committees formed, and plans put into practice, all described by the students in the class by way of the poems they’re writing for the time capsule that will be buried to commemorate the closing of the school. Along the way, each student reveals a lot about themselves, and about their fellow fifth-graders. As you read, you’ll discover that there’s a lot more going on in everyone’s life than just a school closing. You’ll find yourself deciding which students are your favorites, and which ones are not… Will the class be able to save their precious school? Whether they succeed or not, you’ll be glad you got to know the students of the last fifth-grade of Emerson Elementary! (New Hampshire Great Stone Face Award nominee, 2018)
