Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo is the story of Edward Tulane, a china rabbit who becomes lost from the little girl who loves him. This heart-warming story of being lost and found again will quickly draw your child in and become one of their favorite stories. 

During this 5-day course, we will take on the challenge of completing this chapter book in just 4 days! Learners will be asked to read 6 short chapters each day (averaging 40 pages) and complete the assigned activity that I will post after our first meeting.

During our sessions, the teacher will help learners dive a little deeper into our story by leading learners through discussions and activities related to the chapters read. Learners will also have the opportunity to share their responses from the assigned activity.

This book club is a great opportunity for your child to sharpen their reading comprehension skills, make inferences, gain insight from others’ perspectives, and have a fun time reading an unforgettable story.

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is one of my favorite books. I read this story every year to my students when I taught in the classroom. Each year we would laugh and cry together as we would go on a journey with Edward. It would be my pleasure to share Edward’s journey with your child.
