Children who are in second grade are ready for their first book discussion group. Book discussions are designed to help children start thinking critically about books and grow confident in sharing their opinions and enjoyment of children's literature. Chapter Chat is our introductory book discussion for second graders. All participants read the same book. At each meeting, the children exchange opinions, play games based upon the book, watch a book-based film, and do a craft.
Parents can sign up current second graders online (www.gardencitypl.org) on Eventkeeper at home or in the library starting Monday, Sept. 20 at 9:30 a.m., but are required to come to the Children's Room to pick up the book in person. Children are asked to bring a brown bag dinner. A beverage and snack will be provided. Sign up is for both meetings and each meeting is 45 minutes.
