Grades 3-5 Book Club
Grades 3rd-5th October Book Club:
It takes the wisdom of Yoda to survive the sixth grade.
Meet Dwight, a sixth-grade oddball. Dwight does a lot of weird things, like wearing the same T-shirt for a month or telling people to call him "Captain Dwight." But Dwight does one cool thing. He makes origami. One day he makes an origami finger puppet of Yoda. And that's when things get mysterious. Origami Yoda can predict the future and suggest the best way to deal with a tricky situation. His advice actually works, and soon most of the sixth grade is lining up with questions.
Dwight's friend Tommy wants to know how Origami Yoda can be so smart when Dwight is so clueless. Is Yoda tapping into the Force?
This is Tommy's case file of his investigation into The Strange Case of Origami Yoda.
Each month will be assigned a book to read along with optional activities, questions, or resources that can be done at home. During our monthly Book Club meet ups, we will discuss the assigned book, do an activity related to the book for the month, and of course enjoy snacks with our friends! My intent is to have books that appeal to everyone at some point in the yar and to offer bookds that will be on a thrid grade, fourth grade, or fifth grade level at some point in the course of the year. This means that some months may be easy ready for you child depending on their reading level or may need to be read together as a family if the book is at a higher level. This age bracket for reading can provide wide differences in reading abilities, but my intention is fo offer books that can be a mix of fun and more serious tones along with trying to hit diverse reading levels. Please not that books assigned under each month are to read that month and discussed the following month. Looking forward to our many reading adventures!!
