Book Club

Did you ever think that a book club would be feasible for 6 and 7 year olds? I recently went to a teaching conference and had the pleasure of learning about how to implement this activity into my own classroom. With guidance and planning from Ms. Pontier, 6D and 7A are gathering for a book club this week. Read the details below to see how it will work!

Students from 6D and 7A met yesterday to learn more about this week long book club experience, as well as to choose a book from a wide selection. Multiple copies of each book were available, so that more than one student would be reading the same book at once. Books were checked out in the library and sent home with discussion questions.

These books can be read to a parent or by a parent. Friends can gather together to read books.

On Friday, both classes will gather together to discuss their books in a smaller group setting. Here is an idea of some questions which will be discussed:

Who is your favorite character and why?

Does the story remind you of something?

What do you like most about the story?

Do you think you would like another story by this author?

What do you like about the illustrations?

I look forward to Friday's discussions- HAPPY READING!
