Home Run

Ten second grade guys who read Home Run by Robert Burleigh shared their lunch and their thoughts about the story of Babe Ruth. What a lively book talk! The guys were amazed by Babe's sixty homers in one season, and they remembered details about Babe that were described in the book. The guys laughed while watching a quick video clip of Babe and Arithmetic filmed about eight decades ago. Babe, Yogi, and Pudge aren't the only guys with great nicknames. You might know these fantastic guy readers: "Big Shot," "Wild Thing," "Muser," "Jass," "Stitches," "Score," "Mashoo," "Thitter Flame," and "Stonewall Jackson."

Guys Read Book Club

All second grade guys are invited to join a book club. It's easy to join. The hard part is deciding which club to join. The guys have a choice. Home Run by Robert Burleigh is a terrific book about George Herman Ruth Jr....the Babe. Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School, and Other Scary Things by Lenore Look tells the story of a boy who loves superheroes, who is trying to be a gentleman, and who is afraid of everything. Two great reads! Sign up and be ready for a fun lunch in the library one day in February to talk about the book. I'll bring dessert!

Dates for lunch meeting:
Home Run - Friday, February 12
Alvin Ho - Wednesday, February 17 - 2B, 2R, 2S
- Thursday, February 18 - 2Ga, 2Gr
See you then...I can't wait!
