First meeting!!! Yay!!
6 girls in attendance
Before we officially started the meeting, we played hangman to guess the name of the book we were reading. The girls seemed to enjoy it and it was a fun way to discover the title of the book.
After that, I passed out the books so that everyone had a copy in hand.
Introductions went well. We learned a little bit about each other and the girls were able to make some new friends.
Next, I went over
the "dear reader letter" with the girls so that they knew what they
were responsible for for the rest of the week.
I then taught the
girls how to organize their notebooks with numbered pages and a table
of contents page.
Towards the end
of the meeting, we read the first chapter and had a small discussion throughout
the reading.
Before we departed, I assigned the chapters to read for next week. The girls seem really pumped and excited for what's ahead.
Thoughts from this week's meeting:
I'm trying to incorporate more than just "reading" a book. I want them to get a lot out of this experience. While reading the first chapter, we worked on reading skills such as context clues and recognizing figurative language (areas that students often struggle with).
