1 hour per week. Be sure to read the entire book before our book club meeting. Students can read the book on their own, listen to an audiobook, or parents can read the book out loud. Please bring your favorite quote to share with the class. This can be silly or serious. (optional, but I will ask students who have one to share it with the group) Students can also share a favorite character, moment, or event instead of a quote. I'll make sure to have all options on the table! A printable PDF will be available in the classroom each month. In addition to a few questions for the upcoming book, the PDF may contain optional activities pertaining to the literary element for the month.Class Experience

Hi Friends! Let's Celebrate Book Together!
Hi, my name is Mary and I love all things books and book clubs. I have been organizing and leading book clubs in the homeschool community for 6 years and I can't wait to discuss books with you. My book clubs are designed to encourage and inspire students to think more deeply about what they read, to form and defend their opinions, and to engage others in conversations about books.
I believe that book clubs are a brilliant way to lay the foundation for literary analysis. Well-crafted discussions help us explore various literary and plot elements, the author's style, and book themes in a fun and relaxed environment. I know everyone is capable of sharing great insights and the questions in our book club will be designed to draw those insights out.
I am a graduate of Towson University with a BS in Elementary Education. I taught in the public school system (elementary and then middle school) for five years before staying home with my kids. We began homeschooling over 12 years ago and in that time, my own love of children's books and young adult literature was reignited. I spent two years as an employee at Brave Writer where I facilitated online book clubs and now I share my love of books online on my own website at Celebrate a Book.
I live in North Carolina with my husband, four kids, and our dog, Lafayette. Yes, the dog represents our family's absolute love for Hamilton: The Musical.
