Welcome to the Silver Birch part of the website! This program is for students in grades 4 to 6, but you can still read these books if you are in grade 7 or 8. Some of you in grade 3 may even like some of them.
Earlier in the year, students voted for the ten titles in all three categories (fiction, non-fiction, express) that they would like to read. We are super excited for our mix and match program this year!
NOMINATED TITLES
If you want to be able to vote, you have to read at least 5 of the 10 nominated titles. Here is a link to the nominated books: Forest of Reading 2016 Nominated Titles
CLUB MEETINGS
If you want to be in the Silver Birch Club, we will meet on Thursdays in the library. If you are listening to the read aloud, please come straight to the library. We will read from 12:00-12:30. You can also come to read a Silver Birch book on your own.
TWITTER
Afterwards, our Twitter account will be open for you to explore other tweets or even write your own. You can tweet what you're reading, what you think about the books, or anything else. You can even tweet the authors! They might reply back!
RESPONSE JOURNALS
Remember to pick up your response journal! If you read at least 5 books and complete 5 responses (at least level 2) by April 23, Ms. Kondo will buy you one book from Scholastic up to $15. Happy reading!
VOTING
If you read at least 5 of the titles, you can vote for your favourite in April and Ms. Kondo will include your vote with all the other voters in Ontario. The winner will be announced in May.
I hope you have a great time reading and talking about the Silver Birch books. It's going to be a lot of fun!
