2014 FES Mock Newbery List #1

While students and teachers are enjoying this beautiful, Maine summer, it's the perfect time to start thinking about the books the FES Mock Newbery Book Club will read in the fall. Students are encouraged to start checking out these books from the public library during the summer months. The FES Library will have multiple copies of each book in the fall.

Fourth and fifth grade students are invited to sign up for the FES Mock Newbery Book Club in September. Book club meetings take place during lunch once or twice each month. Mrs. Potter will visit all fourth and fifth grade classrooms with more details and registrations forms during the first weeks of school.
