A love of reading has lead to an amazing new Service as Action project by Tharaa, a 7th grade student here at ABIS. Grade 4 students have the opportunity to participate in a month long book study of the book “The Mockingbird” by Katherine Erskine. The book club will be lead by Tharaa and will meet every Wednesday at lunch time. Students will read independently throughout the week, and read and share their thoughts together each Wednesday. This week the group had their first meeting in the library classroom. Good readers often talk about their reading, and it is very exciting to have a student-led group doing just that here in the library!

The pictures below are of Tharaa presenting the optional book club idea to the grade 4 classes during their morning meetings.
