4th Grade Book Club

4th Grade Book Club

To encourage a lifelong love of reading and learning, the Lower School Library sponsors a 4th grade Book Club, which meets every Monday morning during the second half of the school year. Students enjoy an informal book discussion and occasional special breakfast treats. All 4th graders are invited and encouraged to join, and invitations are distributed January.

We meet every Monday morning from 8:00—8:25 a.m. in the library to discuss books we are reading and to recommend favorite books to each other. We will practice the “art” of book talking and book reviewing. We may even write our own book reviews to post on the library web site! This is not for a grade, just for fun! IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING US, PLEASE CONTACT MRS. GERVASI.
