4th – 8th Grade Book Club

One of my absolute favorite things is reading. Between art and reading, I am a happy camper. In this year-long course, we will be reading books, discussing them, and showcasing our creative talents for the last class of each book. Below you will find the list of books we will be reading each month. I will post weekly questions that we can discuss, however my main focus is for each student to creatively represent their knowledge of what they have read to share with the class at the last meeting of the month. 

I will share possible ideas that students can choose from for their final book projects. Students are welcome to discuss with me their ideas or contact me with any questions.
