Boys Book Club=FUN!

The third grade boys from Mrs. Hooton's homeroom, Mrs. Henry's homeroom, and Ms. Scott's homeroom are having a great time at the Buckeye Book Club.  Each Thursday we read from Jake Drake Bully Buster by Andrew Clements.  The Buckeye Book Club members participate in games and creative activities each week after eating a delicious snack!  We are so proud of the boys that participate each week because they are growing their love for reading in a BIG way!  Below is a picture of a few of our boys that are anxiously waiting to begin the next chapter.

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!!!
