The book club will cover books ranging from the Lewis and Clark Expedition to the Revolutionary War, the California Gold Rush to the Vietnam War.
Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to participate. By talking with your children about these book, some times covering sensitive topics along with journaling, your child will gain valuable insight into American History as well as be able to reflect how the past influenced the present.
The club is for both boys and girls.
A "journal" will be provided for those children that participate.
We will meet the second Monday of each month unless scheduling conflicts arise.
The target age group is 8-12.
Questions, suggested readings, craft projects and recipes will be posted which correspond to the text.
