A New Year, A New You

If you do one thing all year, make sure you do this: join the 5th grade boys book club!  It is SOOO much fun!  Truly.  It is one of the things I love most.  We travel the world with exciting books that are filled with action, adventure, drama, and magic.  You can't beat it.  This year, we will be voting much earlier on the Georgia Book Award nominees SO we decided to kick off the boys book club with what else but a Georgia Book Award nominee!  We've chosen Chomp by Carl Hiaasen (who also happens to write for adults).  It involves a reality T.V. show, wild animals, and life in the Everglades, Florida.  Check out this awesome book trailer:

What could me more exciting that all that?!  I hope you will join me on this wild ride as we read and then meet to discuss Chomp on Monday, September 22nd in the media center during lunch.  A special treat will be provided for you to "chomp" on.   If you would like to check out a Kindle from the LS media center to read the month's book club book, please have a parent complete this form, which can be turned into the Media Center.  Or, if you would like to bring in your own e-Reader for book club, please complete the Acceptable Use Policy Form and return it to Lauren Ward. 

I hope you will join me!  R.S.V.P. to Mrs. Brown here.
