MCBA bookclub

The 4th and 5th grade MCBA Book Club met throughout January and February each Tuesday afternoon from 3:30-4:30 with Mrs. Mullens and Ms. Bernard. Students enjoyed tasty snacks while reading and discussing Kristin Levine's The Lions of Little Rock. There was much to discuss in the book, as students wrestled with the topic of racial segregation and learned about the Little Rock Nine.  It was so much fun to be surrounded by such a group of enthusiastic readers!

On February 24th students had the opportunity to Skype with the author, Kristen Levine. They crafted very thoughtful questions and enjoyed learning more about her writing process and how the story came to be. It was a special afternoon as the readers connected with the author!
