Grade 4 Lunch Bunch

Grade 4 Lunch Bunch is on Thursday, February 4, during lunch. We will be reading the book “The Losers Club” by Andrew Clements.  This book is about sixth grade Alec who is often in trouble at school for reading too much in class. He begins his own reading club as an escape from the demands of middle school. Andrew Clements is masterful at writing stories that kids can easily relate to, and the Losers Club is no exception!  Students may borrow the book and join us for the discussion.
