Roaring Readers Book Club (4th grade and 5th grade)
Sponsors: Ms. Scott and Mrs. Emmert
The Roaring Readers Book Club promotes reading with students who read and comprehend on grade level and enjoy discussing books. We will meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 3:15-4:00 starting on Wednesday, September 6th. Students will read from the book list posted on the media center website and includes fiction, non-fiction, and biographies and ranges from fourth to sixth grade reading levels. The final goal of this club is participating in the Gwinnett County Readers Rally, a competition between elementary schools in a "Quiz Bowl" format using the selected books. This team of 10 students will be selected in January. We will meet weekly in February to prepare for the March 17, 2018 competition. If you have questions, please contact Ms. Shannon Scott at 770.232.3378 during school hours.
