TREATS & PAGES, Our Middle School Book Club
This year we are spotlighting different favourite middle school authors. This month's author is Vancouver's own Susin Nielsen. The neat thing about all of her 7 books are that they are set in and around Vancouver! "Treats" still to be determined, but I think we should involve chocolate for February! Meeting is on the last Wednesday of the month, during the outside time. Sign up is on the Monday and Tuesday before the meeting.
READING LINK CHALLENGE FOR GRADES 4 + 5!
