I am never quite quite sure what to do to acknowledge summer reading in the classroom, especially with the 5th grade. A few years ago I came across an article in Book Links (May 2007) that described "Speed Booking". It's a version of speed dating adapted by Christine Boardman Moen for her classroom.
Essentially students pair up, quickly (90 seconds each) discuss a favorite summer read and then rotate to the next student. It's an activity full of enthusiasm, activity and joy. The boys get to talk about and discover new books. It's a wonderful wrap up to our summer reading.
