Student+Book+Club

Welcome to the Webb Bridge Middle School Media Center Student Book Club and Reading Team!
The WBMS student book club will meet every Friday morning before school in the media center. Our first meeting will be Friday, September 5, 2014, at 8 a.m. Students who are interested in learning more about the club will not need a pass for the first meeting. This book club will discuss the books on the 2014/15 Georgia Children's Book Award Nominees list in our meetings first semester and the beginning of second semester, and participants may try out for the school reading team for the Fulton County competition. The book list may be accessed at []

We discussed books that everyone had read over the past week or so, including many on the GCBA list that we will use for the competition. Remember to decide which books you want to read (and write questions), as we will start a list of this next week.

March 5, 2013 World Read Aloud Day!

Students from the WBMS student book club read picture books to the students of Mrs. Johnson's first grade class at Creek View Elementary School (which some of our book club members attended). Since the elementary school day starts earlier, book club members were able to read during our club time, while the first graders were in class, via FaceTime!

Congratulations to the Webb Bridge team of nine 6th- and 7th-graders took fourth place at the Fulton County Schools' Reading Bowl on January 12, 2013. For second semester, we will be discussing books of various genres as we wait to learn which books will be included on the 2013-14 Georgia Children's Book Award nominee list. Come join us if you love to read and to talk about books! (See Ms. Brown in the Media Center or Mrs. McNeal in Room 724 if you have questions.)

We still meet weekly on Wednesdays at 7:45 a.m. in the media center. Our group is open to anyone interested in reading and discussing books. Our county reading bowl will be January 12, 2013, at Langston Hughes High School, so we will be practicing with questions on the books on the Children's Book Award Nominees list.
