Together we will read the exciting book James and the Giant Peach. A syllabus will be posted to let you know what chapters we will be discussing each week. Together we form our own book club to talk about each chapter, answer comprehension questions, and review vocabulary words used in the book. I added some fun activities for each session. Class #1 – Introduction and discuss Ch. 1 - 5 with chapter-related activities. Class #2 – Discuss Ch. 6 - 18 with chapter-related activities. Class #3 – Discuss Ch. 19 - 30 and chapter-related activities. Class #4 - Discuss Ch. 31 - 39 with chapter-related activities. End of the book reviews. Please have your child read the chapters before each class to participate in the discussion and activities.

My name is Melanie Hughes. I am an elementary teacher, and I have taught in public schools for 29 years. I have certifications in Early Childhood – 6th grade, Special Education, and ESL. Reading is key to being a successful student. One of my favorite parts of teaching is reading to my class or have them read to me.
