Time-travel through history in the Magic Tree House with Jack and Annie while learning with new friends!
In this exciting book club, we will meet once a week to discuss the Magic Tree House book of the week. 
Each of these books stands alone, so students can join for one class or stay for as many as they would like! 
For this section, we will discuss books #1-#36 in the historical fantasy fiction series.

All of the reading should be done outside of class before the discussion. However, we will do a small amount of guided reading in class to practice skills and improve comprehension. For the rest of class time, we will discuss the book, share our favorite parts, work on vocabulary and comprehension skills, and play a Kahoot! game related to the book.

*** Please feel free to message me if you do not see a date/time that works for your schedule. I am usually able to add sections to accommodate different time zones. ***

During each class students will improve their reading, vocabulary, and comprehension skills by doing the following:
- Review new/challenging vocabulary words as we discuss each book
- Choose their favorite part of each book to share and read aloud
- Discuss each chapter and the story elements
- Play a Kahoot! game to check for comprehension

***Note: Students must bring their own copy of the book of the week to class each week.
They will also need a second device such as a phone or tablet to use the Kahoot App.

REFUND POLICY: This is a weekly, ongoing class. Your weekly payment reserves a spot just for your child! Just like with in-person classes or extra-curricular events, refunds are not given when your child misses class. If you will be gone for an extended period of time, you may unenroll your learner to open up their spot for another child and re-enroll upon your return, if space is available at that time. Thank you for your understanding!
