Sharon has been running book clubs for 3rd - 10th grades for many years. Books are chosen and discussions are run using Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop’s view of Children’s Literature needing to have Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors. https://scenicregional.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Mirrors-Windows-and-Sliding-Glass-Doors.pdf

Discussions are lively, respectful, and enlightening (for students AND teacher)

From a student:

"THANK YOU for your incredible book club and amazing book choices!!"

From a parent:

"Both kids are interested in continuing with you in the Fall if you are teaching more book club. Let me know about signups! You are the absolute best, and I taught in schools for many years. I don't say that lightly."
