Book Clubs Underway!

Each student has been placed in a Book Club.  Each club is reading a different novel over the next six weeks.  Students will have different roles to complete for each section of the book.  At four different points in the book, clubs will hold a Book Club Meeting to discuss key ideas and themes in the story.  Each student has a Book Club Folder to use throughout the study.  Our spelling words will also come from the books.  We will continue to build stamina with our Daily 5 routine.  
The first Club Meeting is set for next Friday, May 13.  Students need to have the first section of the book read, the first role sheet completed, Wonder Words assignment completed, and a journal response.
