And history is just what we talked about. We found that many kids were a little out of their comfort zone when reading historical fiction, but for the most part, were glad to be introduced to a book they never would have picked out on their own. We were exposed to what slavery was really like- more than just the surface information we learn from our history textbooks. We had some serious discussion, and then we lightened the mood with a competitive trivia game. We ended the night with some Revolutionary War era "turtle soup." :)
Our next book (voted on by YOU) is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I just started it, and I can honestly say that it is a page-turner!
Our next meeting is Thursday, February 10 from 4:00 to 5:30. Happy reading!
