This year's Fiction Addiction Lone Star book club will began our final title of the year, Louder than Hunger by John Schu, on Feb. 3rd.  and will finish it right before spring break.

 

Once we will wrap up our club, we will hold tryouts for the Lone Star bowl, Name That Book.  The final date to try out will be March 20th.  Our team will begin practicing for the bowl the following week. The Name That Book bowl will take place on May 1st.

 

Our final book fair for the year will be a Scholastic BOGO fair.  The dates will be May 4, May 6, May 7, and May 8.  More info will appear in the Jaguar Connection when we get closer to those dates.

 

Our annual end of year Lone Star party will take place in May also.  Any student reading at least 5 Lone Stars and completing the reporting requirements in BeanStack will be invited to our party, which includes an afternoon of board games, prize drawings, and ice cream!

 
Did someone say digital books?  We have SORA, an Overdrive program, for access to our district ebooks & audiobooks!  Currently available for all CISD secondary school students.  6th, 7th, & 8th graders will have access to elementary and middle school resources. Check with your parents for permission before checking out books using Sora.
 
You may access Sora by logging into your ClassLink account and clicking on the Sora icon.  Or download the app on your smart device.  See directions below.
