The kids are having such a great time with our after school Book Club, and I am too! I&#8217;m learning a lot about managing a program like this during our first 6 week run of the Book Club. We have 5 groups of 8-10 students that are meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school for an hour. Each group is reading a different book and at meetings the students are working on creative\/research oriented activities.<\/p>\n<p>The first book that my group read was <span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Ramona Quimby, Age 8<\/span> by Beverly Cleary.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/ramona.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-113\" title=\"Ramona\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/ramona.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/ramona.jpg 510w, http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/ramona-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My group really enjoyed this book, and several of them have already started reading other Ramona books. For our activity, they split into two groups and made a commerical for the book. They were slightly silly, but had a lot of fun doing it. I videoed them and they weren&#8217;t overly proud of their final product to the point of wanting to share it with others, but it was a good time none the less.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I introduced our next book &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">The Cricket in Times Square<\/span> by George Selden.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/cricket.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-114\" title=\"cricket\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/cricket.jpg?w=207\" alt=\"\" width=\"207\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/cricket.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/cricket-207x300.jpg 207w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 207px) 100vw, 207px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really excited about our project for this book &#8211; we&#8217;re going to make our own newspaper! In the paper, each student will have two articles featured. One will be about an attraction or event in NYC, the other will be a book review. I have high hopes for the outcome of this project. I&#8217;m hoping we&#8217;ll come out with a much more polished finished product this time! I think this is something my group could be really proud of. And I really hope they enjoy this book as much as I did!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between yearbook, being sick, Mardi Gras festivities, Take One, and the everyday library chaos, I have not been able to blog about Book Club!
