Students in Ms. Leom fourth grade flex were invited to participate in Book Club. Selecting one of the Maud Hart Lovelace books, students checked out a book of their choice. They were asked to read a chapter a day (every day they have school). They may read the book when they finish their work, during read to self time, at the end of the day, or even at home for their reading calendar time. It has been fun to hear about students who are on Chapter 21, when we are on day 8.
We started with our initial expectations.
Book Club was better than Ms. Leom imagined. She even teared up listening to students include each other, ask questions, share their own experiences in a way that modeled how a peer could participate. There was the group that read a really funny part, and together shared what made it so funny.
As students read and talked, Ms. Leom spent time with each group listening to groups discuss, question, read, and interact.
The maturity, conversation, participation, and engagement about shared books was a fun way to leran.
