2nd Grade Book Club at
Exeter-Milligan by Marla Weber
With
the popularity of book clubs for adults, it's no wonder that children are
excited about book clubs, too. Each month, second graders at Exeter-Milligan
Public Schools meet for book club. The first monthly book club sessions were
led by the teacher, Mrs. Marla Weber; modeling the type of questions to
encourage participation. October marked a new change for the second grade book club. The class was
divided into three groups and a moderator was appointed for each group. The moderators met ahead of time to discuss
questions to ask their group. Moderators also invited one of their parents to
attend. Students, and parents in attendance, came prepared for book club by
reading the book at home. This month’s book was a historical fiction, Kate
Shelley and the Midnight Express. The students were impressed with Kate’s
bravery in this story. Book club was held during lunch. Students and their
parents met in the classroom to eat and informally discuss their favorite parts
of the story. Mr. Sheffield, superintendent of Exeter-Milligan, also
participated in this month’s book club. Following discussion, a brief YouTube
video was shown; re-enacting part of this story. The class decided to continue
the new format of student-led discussions. Next month, new moderators will be
appointed
