It’s hard to believe it is the last 8th grade Lunch Bunch meeting of the year today. We’re going to watch the movie Speak after school today and compare it to Anderson’s book of the same name.
The book club formed last year after I came to Highland. Some participants have been part of the group since the beginning. We also added several new faces this year. I wish the members all the best as they graduate and move on to high school. One of the goals of this blog is to keep our conversations going even after school lets out for the summer.
Here’s a list of what this group has read and discussed over the past two years:
- September 05- Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
- October - Time Windows by Kathryn Reiss
- November - Love Among the Walnuts by Jean Ferris
- January - So B. It by Sarah Weeks
- February - Son of the Mob by Gordan Korman
- March/April - Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson
