books I am reading
I have so enjoyed reading The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe with my students in 5th grade. It has such masterful writing. I just did a section with my students on visualization and the chapter where the witch's magic starts to break and spring starts to cover the land is amazing. He talks about the bluebells and the rivers swelling with water and the spongy grass beneath one's feet. It is a great chapter. I also really enjoy the fact that he talks to the reader throughout the book it is almost like it does it in a secretive way as to not let the characters of the book know we are watching them. It is magnificent reading and a great book for 5th grade.

Your description of the writing makes me want to pick up this book again, and just dive in and lose myself in it!
