"We Love Junie B. Jones" Book Club (Part 2)

This is an ongoing Book Club where we discuss books 6 -10 books of the  Junie B. Jones series.  Even though discussion prompts are given, this social club will be mostly student-led. Each week, students should come to our club meeting time having read Junie B. Jones's book being discussed that week.  Students will also be given a Welcome prompt each week to share at the beginning of class.  I may also add a craft or game to go with the story we are reading that week.  You will receive a message at least 24 hours in advance if any extra supplies are needed.

As a teacher, I strive to create an environment where all club members feel welcomed and are given opportunities to talk and share, with many smiles and laughs along the way.  We will start the class with an engaging “Welcome” prompt and then begin discussing the book for the week.  Students will be encouraged through the club to think about their reading. Connections will be made through text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world.  This strategy promotes engagement while reading and, in turn, a deeper understanding of the text.
