Room 9s Book Clubs are an exciting way

to motivate students to read

Book Club is a time for your child to talk to other students about

books they are reading. To guide our discussions, students use a list of

prompts to write their thoughts in a letter to share with their Book Club.

Book Club starts next week (Sept 22).

They will have time in class to be reading their book and writing their

Book Club letter. If they don't finish their letter in class,

it will come

home as homework.

The children are invited to bring an extra snack on their Book Club

day. In the past, parents have coordinated to rotate bringing in

snacks for their childsBook Club group.
