Title - Birthday Club

Contributor - Christina Blankenship

Essential Reading Element - Comprehension

Objective(s) - To have students take ownership and be a part of the classroom library

Procedure -  Each time the classroom receives a new book, as part of the birthday club or book fairs, the children will help decide where it should be placed in the classroom library.  The book will be read aloud and a discussion will take place to ensure the correct placement of the book.

Implementation -  Implementation will take place as soon as the classroom receives its first new book.  I don't think that my parents are on board with this activity. I have sent home newsletters as well as placed the Birthday Club activity on my class website, it is the end of November and we still have not received any Birthday Club books. As we all know every school year is different and I plan to keep trying because I believe this is a great idea!
