Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 2
If you love fantasy, adventure, and history, then come and join us each week as we discuss our favorite Magic Treehouse books! 

This is a discussion based class (in English). Each week, will discuss the plots, setting, and character development of each books. Learners are asked to read the stories BEFORE each class. We will discuss historical facts and how the story might be different if it included different historical moments, characters, or events. Each class will include some Youtube videos so that we can get a visual of the setting of the story. Each learner is asked several discussion questions about the story, and we all share our favorite moments and characters. 


Class size is kept small to ensure each learner has an opportunity to share in discussions.
