Page Turners Club

Our first meeting was a smashing success!!!

First item on the agenda...build forts and read...

Next, enjoy a very dramatic reading of The Grinch by our own Mr. Carlson...

Then, discussion groups with our wonderful volunteers (thank you to Mrs. Syvertson, Mrs. Sieber, Mrs. Deutsch, Mrs. Killilea, Mrs. Light, and Mr. Carlson)... 

Finally, cookies and cocoa (thanks to Mrs. Hill), a bookmark project, and board games!

Since I was facilitating the bookmark project I completely forgot to take pictures. We made covered buttons with ribbon tails (one to mark our place and one to anchor the bookmark inside our books). The students LOVED them! Many asked where they could get supplies to make more covered buttons for bookmarks and other projects. I've picked up kits at either Modern Textiles or JoAnn Fabrics. If you haven't made them before, I'd recommend going to Modern Textiles (on 7th St just south of Main Ave). The ladies who run the shop are amazing and love to help with instructions, inspiration, or any questions you may have! (Yep, they are my favorite place in Fargo...and I hear a few of my students have been in there too!)

We are SO pumped for our next meeting! Students will be choosing a mystery to read next. If they haven't finished up their historical fiction book, they (of course) should finish that first so that it can be recorded on their list in our Page Turners Handbook. The next meeting will be on Tuesday, December 23rd!
