Cossitt Book Club

Cossitt Book Club is open to all 2nd, 3rd and 6th graders. We encourage all levels of readers to join their specific grade. We are looking for enthusiastic readers who are excited to discuss characters and plot as we move through the book as a group! The cost is $10 / child and this is expected to start the week of January 18th.
 
The selected books for each grade are:
2th - Ellrya Jakes is Not a Chicken
3rd - Jasmine Toguchi, Mochi Queen
6th - The Parker Inheritance

The program is led by parent volunteers and will meet VIRTUALLY once a week. If you are interested, please sign-up using the link below. Being a volunteer in your child's group is a fun way to interact with your child and to get to know other children in their grade level.

Please do not sign up your child unless he or she wants to be in this program. This is not a club for children who do not enjoy reading- it takes away from those who really want to be in a reading group and who enjoy talking about books and ideas. 

Deadline to submit info and payment is Friday, December 18th. Please note that SignUpGenius will also attach a processing fee. If cost is a barrier for joining, scholarships are available. Please contact social worker Alison Vogt (vogtal@dist102.k12.il.us) for more information. 

If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Katzenberger (lisakatz17@gmail.com). 

Please note: 4th grade book club is TBD depending on if the District 102 sponsored “Battle of the Books” will be held this year.
Fifth Grade March Madness Book Tournament

Our March Madness 5th grade battle will be returning in a Virtual format in 2021. Please see below for information and watch out for registration in next week’s Tiger Times. 

If you have any questions, please contact Tiziana Lambert (tizianalambert@gmail.com).
