Book club - Not just for grown-ups

April 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Princeton Montessori School's BookEnds club gives parents and students an opportunity for a shared reading experience.   4th and 5th grade students, along with their parents, gather one evening per month to discuss that month’s literary selection.  This year’s books included Roald Dahl’s Danny, Champion of the World, Beverly Cleary’s Dear Mr. Henshaw, and Kate DiCamillo’s Because of Winn Dixie.   Students and parents enjoyed tie-in activities such as baking and interviewing.  Most recently, students and their parents read Seedfolks, by Paul Fleischman, and participated in garden-based activities.
