Do you love to read? So do we! We are looking for incoming fourth and fifth graders to join us for a summer book club. We will take a look at some of the best authors from many genres and time periods. Then you will get to choose which author interests you most and read books by that author. As we read we will explore themes, characters and genres through a variety of activities and discussions. At the end you will create a short book trailer using iMovie that invites your fellow book lovers to read books by your chosen author. Who else would you rather spend your summer days with than Mrs. Homann and Ms. Noonan? No one? We couldn’t think of anyone else either!
The book club will meet two days (Tuesday and Thursday) a week for four weeks at the Main Branch of the Oak Park Public Library from 9:00am-11:00am. Book club starts on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 and ends on Thursday, July 17th. Students must have a valid Oak Park Public Library card. They will be checking out their chosen books to that account. Cost is $125 for the four week session.
If you are interested in joining us, please email Mrs. Homann AND Mrs. Noonan to reserve your spot! (jhomann@op97.org and knoonan@op97.org.) We must have a minimum of six students in order to run the book club. Our maximum is twelve students. First come, first served. If we have more than twelve we may look into doing a second session. Hope to see you this summer!
