Book Club - Part 2

Week two of our book club was a success!  We have 19 students that are extremely excited about reading 39 Clues.  I have to say, that I am just as excited!   Today, we added a little food testing into our meeting.  In the book, Skittles and Diet Coke were mentioned as a favorite.  Our kiddos had a little taste of Skittles and sorry folks, just regular Coke!  They all liked this taste test.  A little tasting of mushrooms later on may not be quite so popular.  
 

We have a book fair going on in our school right now.  This was a perfect opportunity to take our book club on a mini field trip.  Their mission was to look for their top five picks for our next book.  Not only did we let them in on this decision, we also helped out our library with a nice order. 

Students are posting comments on our blog, they are reading, and showing up after school to share their love for reading.  So far, it looks to be a great success!

Thanks Lori, for being such a great partner in this exciting adventure!

Book Club - Part 1

As an after school activity, Lori, a friend of mine, and I started a book club for fourth and fifth graders. This is our first go at it, so it is a work in progress. Our first book is The Maze of Bones, the first in The 39 Clues series by Rick Riordan. 
Lori came up with the discussion questions, and I created a blog for students to interact with at home. The blog interactions are already making me smile! It is so exciting to see our students excited about reading and taking the time to talk about it! Our new discussion questions were posted a couple of hours ago, and we already have a student who has read and responded for next week! How exciting!!

Take a look at our Book Club blog. I'm proud of our readers!!

We have so many other things in store for our book club, and I can't wait to share!
