Class Experience

Readers who love the My Weird School series love the Fast Facts by Dan Gutman! 
This book club is a Non-Fiction Book Club based on Dan Gutman's popular series My Weird School Fast Facts.  

My expectation is that learners will read the chapters before class by themselves or with their families.  We can then jump right into discussion about what we found out, sharing things we found funny and doing some activities around the subject!

This is a 6 week cycle that will be run again with the remaining books at the end of the run.  Each book will be given 2 weeks time to be read as there are sometimes more than 10 chapters in each book.  We will discuss what we've discovered, expand and relate to our own lives and understanding and depending on the intensity of discussion, we might just play some games! 

I will have our wordsearch and crossword for vocabulary capture uploaded into the classroom after class.   
Now let's learn some Weird Fast Facts together! 

PS: I've listed some resources below but we might not use them.  I just wanted to make sure they were an option for the class.
