Book Club, #6 RECAP
The theme of November’s book club was “favorite non-fiction picture books”–we had a great session of sharing, eating, and just talking as a community. Books shared included:
Henri’s Scissors
N.C. Wyeth’s Pilgrims
Bedtime Math
Sesame Street–We’re Different, We’re the Same
Conversation generated lots of topics, including:
–the book Mathterpieces
–the game Zingo and the Zingo time telling version
–the fun film, Hotel Transylvania 2
YouTube resources (search on youtube and find all of these):
–Hexaflexagons and soooo much more in a great YouTube math series by Vi Hart
–DVD Celestial Navigations by stop motion animator, Al Jarnow
–Peep and the Big Wide World
–Daniel Tiger
–Cosmic Kids Yoga
And questions regarding:
–Chicago charter schools–does anyone out there have info / insight to share?
–intrinsic motivation–what is it, how do we reinforce it, why is it important, good article here
We are currently taking ideas for our next book club meet, please share if you’ve got one!
