"I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book." - J.K. Rowling
I am blessed to work with 21 fabulous students in a close-knit, rural community outside of Syracuse, New York.
We are a looping class (we started together in second grade and are moving up to third grade together). My kids truly enjoy reading nonfiction books and collaborating with their peers.
My Project
For our "Brown Bag Book Club," my kids will read a Titanic book independently. After reading the book, they will pair up with another student who read the same book. The students will be given a paper bag filled with snacks. The bags will have discussion questions glued to the outside. The partners will read the questions on the bag and discuss the answers while enjoying a delicious snack of the requested pretzels and crackers. This activity will help improve my students' reading comprehension, fluency, and communication skills. They will also learn about the historical importance of the Titanic.
This engaging project will provide my wonderful students with quality books that they will truly love reading.
The books requested will be enjoyed year after year by my third graders for our Brown Bag Book Club. Thank you for supporting my classroom!
