Schooled

I just finished reading our new book, Schooled by Gordon Korman.  I really liked it.  I like how Capricorn went from being a "geek" to being popular just by being himself.  He really didn't change who he was.  He learned a lot, but it seems to me that it was the other kids who changed, they realized that they didn't have to act a certain way, that being a good person was all that really mattered. 

Next Meeting

Remember book club members that we have a meeting planned for Monday, April 21st.  We'll meet at 4:30 after Running Rascals.  I've heard that some of you have already finished the book.  You might want to review it before the meeting so it's fresh in your mind.  Remember to pick a place in the book that you thought was important or that you like that you'd like to read to or talk about with the group.
Here's a link to a book review done by a student at a different school student book review. See if you agree with his review of the book.

Hurrah Book Club is Back!!

Finally the winter sports season is over and even though we still have lots of snow on the ground I'm looking forward to spring and longer daylight hours, and hopefully soon, warmer weather.  I'm also looking forward to the start of another year of Tiger Talk Book Club.  I met with the group and we've chosen Escaping the Giant Wave by Peg Kehret.  I can't wait to get reading about Kyle's adventure about out-running a tsunami.

If you have any comments as read the book please post them here so that we can all be thinking about them. Our next meeting is tentatively set for April 21st.
