Book Clubs
Ask your child about their new book clubs. We are starting our 2nd round of book clubs. We are reading the following books and focusing on critical thinking questions and rich discussion around our books. They are all Historical Fiction books with a theme of bravery, courage, and survival except The Conch Bearer which is a fantasy book and lends itself to being a great book to use for comparison because it focuses on the same themes of bravery, courage, and survival.
The Watsons Go to Birmingham
A Thousand Never-Evers
Walking to the Bus-Rider Blues
Orphan Train-A Family Apart
The Conch Bearer
Bud, Not Buddy
