Last Thoughts

Thank you so much to all who participated. I really appreciate your hard work and interesting thoughts over the summer. We will meet at 3:45 in my room on the 30th, please try to be on time so we do not waste any one's time. We will go over our final thoughts, turn in worksheet pages, 1 page responses to each book, and evaluations of the club.

In order to get the full stipend you will need to have answered all assignments in a timely manner or made other arrangements with coordinator, turn in completed worksheets, turn in complete one page responses for each book, and completed the evaluation. The stipends for this club and the fieldtrip will be given to you after the board meeting in September.

Thank you,

Kim

Assignment #4

Hello book-clubbers,

I hope you all had a wonderful week. I hope you all enjoyed the first half of the book. This week we will be finishing the book. This week's post will be based on how you will or would use this book in your classroom ( like a lesson plan). Please post any resources you would use. Please make this post meaningful.

As well as how do you think you could use this quote in your classroom:

" The battle is not always to the strong, but to the active, the vigilant and the brave." by Pop


Please be sure to posted in enough time for others to comment on your posts. Most are posting very early and others are posting very late. The later posts might be missed by other group members and it would be a shame if they missed your great thoughts and ideas.

PS: I am working on the field trip as we speak and it is looking like a wonderful trip for us all. We will be staying in Hardin.
