In this ongoing book club, your daughter will get together weekly with other friends to explore different fiction books with a girl as the main character of each story. I have chosen books that have stories of girls from all different backgrounds with different challenges in their lives. These challenges could be things such as being the new girl at school, dealing with friend problems or worrying about loosing a tooth! When we come together there will be discussions about the chapters that they have read before class and working on comprehension skills such as main idea, characters, details, problems, authors purpose, etc. I feel that reading, both alone or with a group, has an impact on who we are and how we interact with the worlds around us. No matter the students’ ages, or whether it is in a small group setting or large group discussion, conversing about books tends to turn into conversations about being human. Book clubs give each learner a sense of belonging and provides connections in many ways. My ultimate goal is to design a positive, affirming experience each time we come together. *Lola Levine Is Not Mean Chapters 1-4 *Chapters 5-8 *Trouble at Table 5 The Candy Caper Chapters 1-6 *Chapters 7-12 *The Princess in Black and the Science Fair Scare Chapters 1-5 *Chapters 6-10 *Beatrice Zinker Upside Down Thinker Chapters 1-10 *Chapters 11-20 *Ellie Engineer Chapters 1-8 *Chapters 9-16 *Just Grace pages 1-69 *pages 70-137 *Judy Moody 7 Stink The Holly Joliday Read the WHOLE book! :) *Clementine Chapters 1-5 *Chapters 6-10 *Mindy Kim and the Birthday Puppy Chapters 1-6 *Chapters 7-13 *Judy Moody Gets Famous Chapters 1-5 **Chapters 6-10 *Ivy & Bean Book 1 Chapters 1-5 *Chapters 6-10 *Lola Levine Drama Queen Chapters 1-4 *Chapters 5-8 *Anna, Banana and the Recipe Disaster Chapters 1-9 *Chapters 10-18 *Judy Moody Was In A Mood #1 Chapters 1-6 *Chapters 7-12 *Roller Girl Chapters 1-8 *Chapters 9-16 *Lola Levine and the Ballet Scheme Chapters 1-4 *Chapters 5-8 *Judy Moody and the Bummer Summer Chapters 1-6 *Chapters 7-13 *Ivy & Bean Book One Big Happy Family Chapters 1-5 *Chapters 6-10 *Just Grace & the Super Sleepover pgs. 1-92 *pgs. 93-192 *Mindy Kim, Class President Chapters 1-6 *Chapters 7-14 *Ramona Forever Chapters 1-5 *Chapters 6-10 *Just Grace & the Double Surprise pgs. 1-83 *pgs. 84-167 *Mindy Kim & the Trip to Korea Chapters 1-5 *Chapters 6-11 *Jasmine Toguchi Flamingo Keeper Chapters 1-6 *Chapters 7-13 *Ivy & Bean Take Care of the Babysitter Chapters 1-5 *Chapters 6-11 *Girl’s Best Friend (A Maggie Brooklyn mystery) Chapters 1-7 *Chapters 8-14 *Chapters 15-21 *Chapters 22-29 ** My teaching style is organized and full of fun while being relaxed and friendly at the same time.

Parental Guidance
Parents, I have chosen books that get the girls excited to read and discuss and appropriate for this age group. Please research each book on your own so you are comfortable with the content. As the parent or guardian, it is your role to make sure that the books are appropriate for your child as each child is different.
