All our adventures here at the Groves Den
Parent and Staff Bookclub
We are preparing for our 2nd Parent/Staff Book Club of the year. Our book selection this time is How Children Succeed by Paul Tough.
Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence. Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control.
Books are available for check out in the front office. Once again, we will provide two sessions to get together and discuss the themes/arguments within the text.
Tuesday, February 20 from 1:30 - 2:30
Thursday, February 22 from 6:30 - 7:30
Spring Pictures will be February 6th
Early pickup from the front office ends @2:45
Just a reminder the tardy bell rings at 8:05
