-This class is designed to encourage young readers to commit and follow through on finishing a book while delving into insightful conversations about the content with peers.  
El Soñador is a book about a young boy who seems to always be daydreaming. He loves collecting things and he loves words. Though his father does not share his love for storytelling, he does not let that stop him from embarking on a journey of self discovery which helps transform him into the world renowned poet, Pablo Neruda.

Week 1 : La lluvia &El Viento
