American Girl Reading Club: Felicity Merriman!
Class experience
US Grade 1 - 4
Do you have a child with a passion for independence and adventure? If so, this class may be for you! During our 8 weeks together, we will be doing a deep dive into the American Girl doll, Felicity Merriman, a spunky colonist from 1774. Every week, we will have a discussion about Felicity's story and time period, and we will engage in activities that reflect Felicity's experiences. We will be covering all six of Felicity's original books during this class, so students can expect to read one...
This is my 14th year as a secondary English teacher, and my favorite units of all are interdisciplinary ones where I can combine many of my passions into one rich learning experience! Personally, I have been an avid American Girl doll collector since I was a child, and have read through the series and have done the activities with my own six year-old. I would love to share this excitement for American Girls, reading, history, and culture with your children, too!
Homework Offered
We will be reading one Felicity book a week, and there will be a light amount of work to go along with that to reflect their comprehension (journaling, vocabulary, etc). There will also be a project to show the student's growing understanding of Felicity and her time period that will be due at the last class.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
