Book Besties
Calling all 4th and 5th grade girls who LOVE books, laughter, creativity and making new friends!
Join us for a fun and welcoming book club where stories come to life through games, crafts, movement activities and meaningful conversations. Each session will include:
*A guided discussion with a snack
*A fun craft or activity
*Movement and games
*A great book to read together
*Time to connect, share and have fun!
Whether you're already a big reader or just starting to discover books you love, Book Besties is the perfect place to relax, be yourself and enjoy reading with friends!
*A copy of the book is included with registration and will be give out the first day. We will do some of the reading during class and the girls will be asked to read a few short chapters on their own each week.
