SY24-26, Cycle 3. 2nd / 3rd Grade. April - May, 2025. "Donavan's Word Jar."
We had a ton of fun finding (and attempting to pronounce) new words! And, then we apparently felt the need to throw our words at each other, LOL!

SY 24-25, Cycle 2. 2nd / 3rd Grade. Feb. - Apr., 2025. "Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World."

SY 24-25, Cycle 1. 4th / 5th Grade. Jan. - Feb., 2025. "Save Me A Seat."
Even though every single one of us got sick during this cycle, we persevered and had awesome discussions about bullies, unseen similarities, and, of course, candy.
Also, a student from the Historic First Book Club re-joined us before graduating. <3

We had a blast talking about labels and our love of books!
