In this book club, the students will read about Ella Mentry, AJ and his friends, second grade graduation, a wacky summer and an off-the-wall third grade teacher. That’s where the weirdness just begins!

Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 3
Intermediate Level
🌸In this ongoing class, the students will read one book a week ahead of time and come to class to discuss. The teachers at Ella Mentry School are driving A.J. crazy! Miss Daisy eats bonbons! Mr. Klutz kisses pigs! Mrs. Roopy sings silly songs! And Ms. Hannah wears dresses made out of pot holders! Pot holders? How is A.J. ever going to learn anything ? These just might be the funniest stories in the history of the world!
🌸I feel that reading, both alone or with a group, has an impact on who we are and how we interact with the world around us. No matter the students’ ages, or whether it is in a small group setting or large group discussion, conversing about books tends to turn into conversations about being human. Book clubs give each learner a sense of belonging and provides connections in many ways. My ultimate goal is to design a positive, affirming experience each time we come together.
