Randerson Readers Rock!!!

Well deserved prizes for our Randerson Readers Rock program
Congratulations to our Randerson Readers Rock participants for their diligence in our summer reading program.  Every student who participated by filling out a reading log and telling us a bit about the great books they read, received a Randerson Readers Rock prize package. 

Book Clubs are back at Randerson
We are about to start our book clubs and are looking for great titles you want to read and discuss.

Here are some of the requests to date:

Gr. 7 book club - Recruit, The first book in the Cherub series by Robert Muchamore. This series is about undercover teenage agents and is full of adventure and thrills.  From the author interview it sounds intriguing yet at times mature.  I have recently purchased the book and look forward to reading it to better understand its maturity level. 

Grade 6/7 - Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - although this was a book club choice last year many of our Grade 5's who are now Grade 6's would like it to be chosen again this year.

Gr. 6/7 We all Fall Down by Eric Walters.  Our grade 7's read it last year and enjoyed it so much they all rushed to the library for the sequel "United we Stand".  This would be an excellent book choice as Eric Walters is visiting Vancouver Island in February and we are working hard to get him booked into our school for an author visit. 

Gr. 4/5 Underneath by Kathi Applett is a critically acclaimed novel about two unlikely friends and how they become a family.  An abandoned cat and a chained up hound become a family Underneath the porch.  Beautifully written this story is of friendship and family.


Keep your suggestions coming in.  We will choose a book this month and begin reading for our first book club meeting in November.  Please stop by the library if you have any book club recommendations.
