Kate’s Book Club

On Thursdays, students gather around the kitchen table – Harkness style! – to read and discuss the latest selection of the Bookclub. Together the students created a list of literature favorites and each month they cast their vote to decide which tale they will dive into next. From R.L. Stein’s Goosebumps series to Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins and Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Book Club brings the group together to experience these powerful stories, broadening horizons and expanding perspectives as students read aloud the prose, and share their own unique insights.
