First Book Club Meeting on Thursday

What an exciting week we are having! In addition to the Book Fair AND Family Literacy Night (tonight!), Bennett's Adult/Student Book Club has their first evening meeting THIS THURSDAY, October 24^th from 6:30-8:00. This is an optional book club for 4th and 5th grade students at Bennett. Our first book of the year is Becoming Naomi León by Pam Muñoz Ryan. I am really looking forward to hearing the discussions about this book!

If you are a 4^th or 5^th grader who is interested in joining the Book Club, it’s not too late! Talk to Miss Johnson in the library and get a permission slip to fill out. We’d love to have you join! Here is a list of books we are reading this year:
