Third Grade Girls Book Club Meeting will be Thursday, Oct. 31st!

Just a reminder!  

The 3rd grade Book Club members will meet on Thursday, October 31st in the library.  Make sure you have read Chapter 2 of our novel!  Parents: Make sure you arrive in the library by 5:15 (no later than 5:20) to sign out your child.

Student Work

The library walls are covered with amazing student work from the first and second six weeks.  The fourth grade students completed an Author Brochure where they had the opportunity to research one of these three authors: Patricia Polacco, Kate DiCamillo, and Jerry Spinelli.  The third grade students had the chance to complete a Movie Poster over a book of their choice.  Their poster included a title, a summary that mentioned the setting, and a list of actors chosen to play the characters in the book.  Our second grade students completed a book review over a book of their choice and decorated a paper pumpkin to represent the main character.  The work is amazing, and I am very proud of their effort!  

In addition, our third grade Buckeye Book Club members decorated a pumpkin that is on display outside of the library.  This pumpkin is decorated to represent a character from the book, "Help Me, Mr. Mutt!  Expert Answers for Dogs with People Problems."  Great job students!!!

Girls Book Club UPDATE

The third grade girls had a wonderful time at their first meeting of the Buckeye Book Club.  These girls read the first chapter in the book, The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes.  They will read the second chapter before our next meeting and come prepared to discuss the new events in the book.  The girls also decorated a pumpkin for Pumpkin Palooza which will be held tonight at Gilmer Elementary School.  Our first meeting was filled with conversation, laughter, and creativity.  We are looking forward to our next meeting which will be on Thursday, October 31st from 4:00-5:15.
