Book Discussions
We’ve had a very successful (although small crowd) for our 3rd & 4th grade book discussions. Theses kids usually read the book (unlike our middle school book discussions) and I keep the program to about 45 minutes and try to include an extension activity that coincides with the book we read.
Fun Friday
This 45-minute program is offered on half-days of school that occur once a month and is geared toward 1st – 4th graders. The program is always called Fun Friday allowing me to offer a different theme every month and not being tied to any one idea. I try to include art, movement, STEM, and other topics into the program to interest kids and teach them something new in a fun way!
