One of the best parts about book clubs is that it allows for student choice. Many other times throughout the school day, the reading material that we use is chosen for the students; however, book clubs provide an opportunity for them to choose! My students have particularly been interested in the I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic and Lemonade War book. I've found so much joy in watching the students get excited about reading! \r\n\r\nYour gift has truly made an impact on my classroom.
