As part of our engagement activity for our Monster-Themed Book Klub, readers will be sculpting their very own monsters!

On October 28th at 4:30 p.m., parents and siblings are invited to join us for a fun, hands-on introduction to Stop Motion Animation. Families will learn how to bring the monsters our readers created to life using stop-motion animation to make a story of their very own!

Readers will need to bring their personal iPad on October 28th with the Stop Motion Animation app already downloaded. The free version of the app will be sufficient for this activity. If your reader is unable to attend, Ms. Angelique will send everything home, along with a link to learn how to use the Stop Motion App.

Throughout our time in Book Klub, we will be building important reading skills while exploring each of our carefully curated books. Reading will be more than simply finishing a book. Readers will be encouraged to think deeply about what they are reading and make connections.  

We will also participate in group discussions where readers can share their thoughts, ask questions, and listen to different perspectives.

As always, our goal is to help readers become more confident, thoughtful, and active readers while showing them that reading can be both meaningful and enjoyable.
