TREATS & PAGES, OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL BOOK CLUB
This year we are spotlighting different favourite middle school authors. Read a book by the author before the meeting and then be sure to sign up for some freshly baked cookies, a slice or two of pizza or some other treat on the Monday or Tuesday before the meeting. Meetings will happen in the Learning Commons on the Wednesday during the outside time.
READING LINK CHALLENGE FOR GRADES 4 + 5!
Grade 4 and 5 students have an opportunity to join a Reading Club that is sponsored by our public libraries! Six titles were just announced on Nov. 1st! Students will be put in to teams of a maximum of 6. They read all or many of the titles and prepare for a trivia like competition where they will compete first at a school level, then at a district and even possibly at a Lower Mainland event.

3) Paper books, e-books or audiobooks?
I always have at least one of each on the go so that I am never without a book. I always have at least one fiction and one non-fiction book on the go too, so that I have a book that fits every mood. I like to read multiple books at once, and I only re-read a book if I'm readin it to someone else.
