Book club
Sponsors: Cynthia Pacheco and Gabriela Villasenor
The book club is a group of students who come together to read and discuss books. It’s a fun way to
share ideas, explore different stories, and enjoy reading with friends.
Here’s how it works:

1. We will choose a book: The group decides on a book to read. This could be a classic like
   Charlotte's Web or a new adventure like Percy Jackson.
2. Setting a Schedule: Members agree on how long they have to read the book. For example,
   everyone might read the book over two weeks or have certain chapters read before meeting
   time. (TBD) Most likely starting the 3rd week of school.
    
3. Meeting to Discuss: After reading, the group meets in the library on Wednesday’s from
   4:05 - 4:40 to talk about the book. They share their thoughts, favorite parts, and opinions on
   the characters and story.
    
4. Activities: Book clubs do fun activities related to the book, like creating art inspired by it or
   watching a movie adaptation.

Who Can Join: The book Club is open to everyone, regardless of gender, culture, or socioeconomic status. We
believe in the importance of diverse voices and perspectives in our discussions and activities.
