Sadly, this was our last week of Book Clubs. The students have been doing an incredible job with this unit! It has been wonderful to watch the groups take ownership of their book clubs and conduct respectful, thorough book talks. This week we have learned about ‘in the book’ versus ‘in my head’ questions and how to discuss and find the answers to both of these types of questions. We also had an extremely powerful lesson where we discussed disagreeing politely and how using nice words and a kind voice helps us share our differing opinions and thoughts.
Today as a culminating activity for Book Clubs we are focusing on how to wrap up a book discussion. We are also treating the students to a book club snack because we know as adults, sometimes the snacks are the best part of a Book Club!
Although we are sad to see Book Clubs wrapping up, we are very excited for our next unit which focuses on character traits and reading in a series. Look for more information to come about this in the Sunday email!
