Join Zoey, Sassafras, Ms. Carol and friends in this exciting, 4 week book club! Each week, we will meet to discuss the 10th Zoey and Sassafras book Gnomes and Sneezes by Asia Citro! We’ll divide class time between discussing our chapters and having fun playing games! With magical animals, science, mystery, and adventure, Zoey and Sassafras has something for everyone! Easy-to-read language and illustrations on nearly every page make this series perfect for a wide range of ages. There isn't a set scientific formula for each book; Zoey sometimes needs to run experiments, while other times she needs to investigate a mystery, and yet other times she needs to do research. Zoey models how to keep a science journal through her handwritten entries in each story. Each story is complete with a glossary of the kid-friendly definitions for scientific terms used. The series highlights child-led inquiry science and the topics covered align with both Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards. Chapters will be read or listened to ahead of time, before class. The books are also available as audiobooks, and they are delightful! I will be offering a book club for each subsequent book in the series! This class is designed to be fully interactive and students are expected to be fully engaged. 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! 1/7 - Chapters 1-5 1/14 - Chapters 5-10 1/21 - Chapters 11-15 1/28 - Chapters 16-19
