This is an on-going Book Club where we discuss the first 5 Junie B. Jones books.  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 the Junie B. Jones book being discussed that week.  Students will also be given a Welcome prompt each week to share at the beginning of class.  

Week 1: Welcome Prompt: What is your favorite Junie B. Jones book?

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.
