[LM_NET] ELEM: Lunch Book Clubs

[Jayne Dambman <jdambman@CVAI.ORG>]

I would like to have my local public children's librarian run a lunch 
book club for our 4th grade students - an idea for building a 
connection to the public library. I was thinking of having her come 2 
times a week for about 6 weeks or so and read aloud to the small group 
for about 20 minutes. Students have recess before lunch. They would be 
eating while she reads. After lunch, they go back to their classrooms. 
I am wondering if any of you have had a lunch book club in an 
elementary setting and what made it successful or if you encountered 
some big problems. Lunch is a social time. I am wondering if it will 
cause problems for students in their afternoon classes if they are 
sitting still and listening at lunch. Please email me your experiences. 
Thanks.
