DUVENECK BOOK CLUB 2009 - 2010

Below are the titles that your children will be reading this year as part of the school-wide book club. Friday folder materials will remind you as each new book is being discussed.

Many families enjoy getting their own copies to reinforce the values of Appreciation, Giving, Acceptance/Valuing Differences, and Creativity/Imagination as they are being taught at school. Last year, the PTA’s Book Club Home Library fundraiser was a great success (thank you!) and will be offered again next year. Two out-of-print titles, starred below, made the program unworkable this year.

We encourage you to try to find the books below at the library, at local booksellers, or via Amazon.com where you can find the entire list by searching for the Wish List for katgordon@maternalinstinct.net.
