Book Club

This semester, several of our elementary students are participating in a "Book Club". Each week, students read a chapter of a book that they picked out as a group and report back on their reading.

Here are some of their observations about the book...
My favorite part was "when Jack and Annie squinted at the pyramid wall." -- Shamsi, 3rd grade
What I didn't like about this chapter was "when Annie gives Jack a little push." -- Rahama, 3rd grade
In the next chapter I think "they will find the mummies." -- Shamsa, 3rd grade

The children involved in Book Club have become very independent and enjoy facilitating on their own. They remain focused and very engaged each Tuesday afternoon.


Shamsi, Shamsa, and Rahama enjoy sipping water from teacups while discussing their books.
