My Ongoing Weird Book Club

*Dates and books are listed below.*

Students do not have to read every book in the series to enjoy their experience in this book club.  Each book by Dan Gutman is unique and fun!  In fact, students can join the group in the middle of any and every book and still have fun!  

We will spend three weeks on each book (four weeks for Fast Facts). Students will read an average of 3-4 chapters (about 35 pg) at home each week, and I'll provide 'think about it' questions to help them make connections while they read.  During class time, we'll have fun discussing what's happening in the story; the characters, their actions, and the reasons for their actions.  I'll also provide a list of optional, at-home activities for the students to complete each week.  Activities may include illustrations, writing, research, and simple projects that are in line with what we're reading. I encourage kids to choose one to share.  It's fun!  
**In the event a student is behind in a book or joins the group mid-book, that's okay!  We discuss a variety of topics related to the stories and characters, so kids can have fun, even if they haven't read a single page!
