🚀 See skyrocketing motivation! All students receive a virtual passport to keep as they journey back in time. After finishing a novel, they receive a passport stamp to put in their passport! When the passport is complete, you will be able to print the passport as a photo book, a treasured memento of learning and growth. If you have your passport link, click here for instructions! https://youtu.be/_0P-uGk-PDM 
🔖 All students receive a bookmark to use as they read through each novel that helps them think about the literature more deeply. This increases their comprehension and prepares them to participate actively in the book club discussion.

The Newbery Medal has been awarded to American authors for their great contribution to children's literature. The award has been given since 1922! We are reading every book that has won the Newbery medal, starting with the 2023 winner and working our way back in time to 1922! Students travel backward through the decades, experiencing different times, meeting characters, discovering settings, connecting with cultures, and identifying with literary characters. Reading all the books will take four years! Our first cohort of students finished EVERY NEWBERY book this year! Are you up for the challenge? This isn't your average book club! To learn more about each book, visit this website: https://abqlibrary.org/newbery/

🥰 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄:
We discuss a new novel during each class. 
All Students learn: 
-reading strategies
-how to analyze who they are as readers
-how to communicate about literature and life! 
-They begin to develop their criteria for evaluating the books they read
-They begin to understand the type of readers they are.
