The Read On Book Club had its first meeting Friday, October 24; 22 4th grade students ate their lunch in the LMC and got their first book. The books being used this year are: Listen by Stephanie Tolan, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo, The Missing Manatee by Cynthia deFelice, The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau, and Please Write in this Book by Mary Amato. Each group created its own reading calendar and will be prepared to discuss the main characters and the central problem on Wednesday, October 29, during their second meeting. Due to the large number of students, this club is currently full. Another Book Club opportunity will begin after the Christmas holidays.
The Technology and Library Club (TLC) will meet for the first time on Wednesday, October 29, during the 5th grade lunch period. Members will be introduced to the rules of LMC work and to the LMC computer program. In addition, the first work schedule will be created. The TLC group will continue to meet every 2nd and 4th Wednesday.

CLUBS GET ORGANIZED
Ms. Koll will have organizational meetings for two separate clubs during the week of October 13. The first meeting is for 5th grade students who are interested in joining the Technology and Library Club (TLC). Students who are interested will meet Wednesday in the LMC during their noon recess. The second meeting is for 4th grade students who are interested in joining the Read On Book Club. Those students will meet on Thursday in the LMC during their noon recess.
The TLC group learns how to check books in and out of the LMC and how to put books away. They also learn how to use the equipment available through the LMC (such as digital cameras and InFocus projectors), so they can help out when their class uses these items. They meet twice a month during their lunch. Members eat in the LMC while they meet. Those who keep their grades up and don't fall behind in their school work can also sign up to work once or twice a week as a library helper.
The Read On Book Club will meet once a week in the LMC. Their challenge is to read 3 to 5 suggested books. Multiple copies of the books are available, so they can work together in small groups. Members will bring their lunch to the LMC and discuss the book(s) they are currently reading. Each group will complete some type of visual project after reading each book. At the end, the entire group will determine which of the titles should be placed on the Meadowview Intermediate Favorites List and shared with the rest of the school.
