[LM_NET] Target->Ideas for 4th and 5th grade PTA sponsored book activities

["Jaksic, Vicky" <jaksicv@FULTONSCHOOLS.ORG>]

Dear Colleagues,

Our school has traditionally held a "Lunch Bunch" program that offers
4th and 5th grade students the opportunity to read books and then have
discussions on them throughout the year and the PTA provides the
lunches.  Due to moderator burnout and students just not reading the
books, the school wants to reinvent themselves.  

 

I am looking for ideas that that other schools use for 4th and 5th grade
students that involves books and incentives.  Battle of the books is an
obvious idea, but I need more and many!  AR is not an option, as what I
am looking for is something that involves just a handful of books and
only 4-6 times a year.

 

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone out there who has fun, neat programs
at your schools.  I will post a Hit when I get several responses.

 

Please respond directly to me at jaksicv@fultonschools.org
