Class Experience

Join Mary Poppins, Ms. Carol, and friends in this once weekly, 4 week book club as we read and discuss this delightful, enchanting classical story of make believe and magic! 

From the moment Mary Poppins arrives at Number Seventeen Cherry-Tree Lane, everyday life at the Banks house is forever changed. It all starts when Mary Poppins is blown by the east wind onto the doorstep of the Banks house. She becomes a most unusual nanny to Jane, Michael, and the twins. Who else but Mary Poppins can slide up banisters, pull an entire armchair out of an empty carpetbag, and make a dose of medicine taste like delicious lime-juice cordial? A day with Mary Poppins is a day of magic and make-believe come to life! 

Mary Poppins, by P. L. Traverse, is a timeless classic, best known for the movie version of the story. In our home, we love to read the book first and watch the movie at the end. I can’t wait to share this timeless classic with your students! 

In this multi-day book club, we will meet once weekly for 4 weeks to dive deep. During out time together, full participation in discussion is expected. There is grace for a shy student, of course, but students will be encouraged to dive into the discussion as they acclimate to the group. Each student will have a turn to share their thoughts and ideas. I will have questions and discussion prompts ready each week, should conversation lag.  After our discussion time, we will end with a game if time permits! My book clubs are typically highly engaging, highly interactive, very lively! 

Chapters will be assigned to be read ahead of time, beforehand. There are 12 chapters in this book. The book is also available as an audiobook! All of class time will be dedicated to discussing the books, applying critical thinking, discussing characters, plot, and other literary aspects, designing a book cover, and ending with a fun game, all related to the book. Snacks are always welcome! 

Please read chapters BEFOREHAND!
