3rd Graders LOVE Book Clubs!

One of the best parts of 3rd grade is developing a love for reading through conversations and collaboration!   Last week, 3rd grade students began meeting in book clubs to discuss fiction text.  They worked together to decide on the main story elements of their text, and wrote summaries to communicate the main ideas of their stories. 

Next week, students will work with non-fiction texts over Ancient Egypt in their book clubs! They will continue their study of main ideas and summary next week as well. 

Featured this week are some hard working students from Mrs. Bell's class who share with us their love of book clubs and how they feel it benefits their learning! 



Baylee says, "I love doing book clubs because I like to grow my knowledge and spread my knowledge with other people.  I also like that I can know what other people predict about the book and so that grows my imagination!" 



Ashton writes, "I like book club because I like working in groups and its fun.  Also, so I can share my thinking so I can check if I'm right!" 
Trenton likes book clubs "because you can share your thinking with other people and grow as a reader!" 



Peyton explains, "I like book clubs because I like that I can talk about the book with my group.  I also like that I can challenge myself, and ask myself harder questions!" 

As you can see from these reflections, 3rd graders are enjoying book clubs and seeing the impact they have on their comprehension!   We are so proud of all of you!
