Who: This club is open to students in Fourth grade through Eighth grade that want to read above and beyond regular school reading and would like to share their thoughts and ideas about the books they read.
When: All meetings take place on Mondays or Fridays during their lunch time. We will meet twice for each book that is read. At the first meeting I will introduce the book and at the second meeting we will discuss the book.
Where do you get the book: Because of the high number of students in the club I am not able to purchase books for all. Families use the public library, Loyola Intermediate library, or purchase the book. I did provide links to Barnes and Noble and Amazon -many of these books have used copies available. All books that I choose are in paperback form are less than 10.00 each. If you have financial difficulties please contact me and I will make arrangements for your child.
Requirements: There are two requirements 1. read the book 2. take Accelerated Reader test with passing grade of a 70% or better.
Extras:
When we meet at lunch we will have a yummy treat.
Busy or too many activities during a scheduled book time? Students do not need to participate in all books that are planned.
Please email me if your child is going to participate so that I will enough food at rcorcoran@macsmn.com I do not need a count for the second meeting - I will look at who has taken the Accelerated Reader test.
Please contact me with any questions. Look forward to reading with your students.
