Book Club Shout Out

To all members of my book clubs:

You rock! I am having such a great time talking about books with you and hearing your input.

Your comments about each of these books have brought elements of the story out for other club members and created lively discussions. Many of you are making connections between these books and other books or movies. Some of you are drawing on your own life experiences to understand what you are reading and comparing scenarios and characters to real events and people you know. Everyone is learning more about themselves and their fellow students, as well as improving their reading skills, which is the ultimate goal afterall.

So far, I have had the opportunity to read the following books with my clubs -

The Westing Game
All of The Above
The Music of Dolphins
Wanted
Jiggy
Tears of a Tiger

And, that's just the beginning. We will continue reading more books as the year goes along. I plan to add another book club devoted to non-fiction in March. So, let me know if you are a big fan of non-fiction books and I will add you to my list.

Keep up the great work book-clubbers!
