WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW???

From now until March, students are on their own to read as many of the 20 books from their grade's list as they can. If they read at least 5 they will be invited to our end of club party at the end of March.
In September we will have one club meeting before school where students will form their BOB team and decide which books each team member will read (it is encouraged for each student to read as many of the 20 as possible).
In January, club meetings will begin. The meetings will be held about twice per month in January and February for each group. 3rd & 4th graders will meet together and 5th & 6th will meet together. In the meetings we will practice answering questions about the books in various game formats, as well as do some practice battles for fun. All of the questions will be answered with the title of a book, and the author's name too for bonus points. Students should practice associating the title with the author's last name. Flashcards will be given at the first club meeting in September.
Students will receive a button from Mrs. Wilson for each book that they complete. Students who read all 20 books on their list will receive an award in March. Final Battle winning teams will also receive awards.
Students may get a bookmark in the Riverview library to check off the books that they have read, or you may print one by clicking the bookmarks at the bottom of this page or at the links below:

All of the books on both lists are available in the Riverview library, and our Saratoga Springs library usually has all the books as well.
If your student wants to read the books but not participate in the battles, that is great. They will just need to let us know in SEPTEMBER when we form the BOB teams.
The BOB books may count towards any other library reading challenges we do during the year.
