Because of Mr. Terupt

What a fabulous discussion about Wonder by R.J. Palacio!  Twenty enthusiastic 4th grade girls really enjoyed reading and discussing this book.  Book clubbers had different opinions about the various characters.  However, we all agreed that this book caused us to consider empathy on a deeper level and reflect on how we would want to write our character in this story and what choices we would make.  Our  next book club pick is so exciting!  We will be discussing Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea.  This book has gotten rave reviews and it happens to be a current Georgia Book Award nominee!  I challenge you to read it and make a book trailer that tempts others to want to read it too!  Our next meeting will be on Monday, January 13th during lunch in the media center.  Happy reading!
