Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 3
Join Mona the Mouse, Ms. Carol and friends in this exciting, 4 week book club! Each week, we will meet to discuss our chapters and have fun playing games! 

When Mona the Mouse stumbles across the wondrous world of the Heartwood Hotel in the middle of a storm, she desperately hopes they'll let her stay. As it turns out, Mona is precisely the maid they need at the grandest hotel in Fernwood Forest, where animals come from far and wide for safety, luxury, and comfort. But the Heartwood Hotel is not all acorn souffl¿ and soft moss-lined beds. Danger lurks, and as it approaches, Mona finds that this hotel is more than a warm place to spend the night. It might also be a home.

The Heartwood Hotel is the first of four delightfully enticing chapter books in a fairy new series written by Kallie George. The series tells a tale of friendship, courage, and community, with exquisite black-and-white illustrations throughout. 

This class is designed to be fully interactive and students are expected to be fully engaged. There is grace for the shy or introverted, of course, but if interacting with teacher and peers is uncomfortable for your student, this class is not a good fit for them. 

Please read chapters BEFORE class!
