Family Book Club

We had some great discussions around various topics during our Family Book Club evening on April 9th. There were many positive comments about the evening. One parent said, "Getting together with other students and parents is a great way to improve comprehension." Another said that they enjoyed exporing "history in a story." Another commented, "I enjoyed spending the time with my child doing an activity with some teaching moments."

One students said, "I enjoyed the raffle and the snacks and drinks." Another stated,
"We had funny conversations."

There were also some suggestions for future book clubs and we are looking at those carefully. One person suggested using the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tullane. We would love to use that book if it comes out in paperback.

Thank you for a great evening. We look forward to hosting another Family Book Club next school year.
