Kid Athletes Book Club!

Each week in this ongoing class, learners will learn about, discuss and analyze influential figures in both present time as well as in history, utilizing "Kid Athletes" by David Stabler. We will study the athletes in this book (as children), discuss how they became influential and what contributions they have made in history and present time. We will also consider how they have shaped society and history, as well as how strong their impact influences us today. No previous class or knowledge is needed, every class we discuss new activists unrelated to the previous, so each class is new and exciting. Every class will be a fun- filled evening with good company, good vibes, and a good book! 

Every Monday and Wednesday we will finish class playing a game of Kahoot or Jeopardy! It's a fun way to review the athlete we just read about as well as ensures that the students will want to pay close to attention to detail while reading. Every Friday is "Fun Friday" where we finish class by drawing/painting/sketching athlete of the week with a short explanation as to why we chose that specific person. Every class will be a fun- filled evening with good company, good vibes, and a good book! 

You are welcome to join any week that interest you or stay with us for several weeks to learn about and discuss influential kid athlete. Below is a list of athletes that we are going to be discussing each day, this list will not change therefore you will know exactly who the activist are on any particular day, and are able to choose the classes that most interest you. Can't wait to see you in class!
