Mrs. Kristin’s book clubs are more like college classes than adult book clubs. She teaches kids how to think critically about what they read; even the youngest book clubbers are introduced to the concepts of themes, symbols, figurative language, and voice, all in age-appropriate language. We debate opinions and find textual evidence to support our ideas. We also read some really great books.
Three Thumbs Up is a genre- and format-spanning book club for incoming 5th–6th graders. We’ll be reading some of Mrs. Kristin’s favorite middle grade books, the first of which is a graphic novel.
Book list:
Cardboard Kingdom by Chad Sell
Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer by Kelly Jones
Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl
Open to rising 5th–6th graders.
Dates: June 16, July 15, August 5; 4:30–5:30 p.m.
Students are responsible for acquiring their own books. Books are not included in the cost of class.
