Dear Class 5T
Families,
As I mentioned at
Back-to-School Night, you have the opportunity to join us for a "Breakfast
with Books" Book Club. The
idea behind this book club is to have students and families reading books
together at home and then coming in once a month to participate in a book talk.
Our first book is Al
Capone Does My Shirts by
Gennifer Choldenko. We will begin
our discussion at 8 AM in Room 21 on November 18th. If you wish to participate, we would
love to have you! Please let me
know if you plan on joining us. If
this month doesn’t work out – consider joining us next month. Our next meeting after November 18th
will be on Friday, December 16th, and we will be discussing Holes
by Louis Sachar.
Feel free to bring
your breakfast – a bagel, donut, or whatever you prefer! I look forward to seeing you if you can
make it!
Until then, happy
reading!
Kyle Tompkins
