Our Mainely Girls Book Club has started! Ten fourth grade girls will be meeting about seven times on Mondays after school to discuss interesting books that feature strong female characters. Our first book was Roxie and the Hooligans by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. Since Roxie was stranded on an island and used the survival skills she had learned from her famous uncle to survive, we thought we would explore a few survival skills ourselves. Using sections from the Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook, the girls acted out what to do if you are stuck in an avalanche or attacked by a bear, among other potential life-threatening circumstances.
Our next book is going to be Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls: Moving Day by Meg Cabot. Here is a great book trailer for that book. Hmmm..... I think our snacks for that day should all be red. Want to know why? You'll have to read the book!
