The Magician's Elephant book club, May 2015

We had a great conversation about the meaning behind this book. It took us awhile to sort through it all, but the message seems to be that this group of people, all of whom had problems, came together to help the elephant, and through that experience, their lives were made better. The girls had a great time putting on a very elaborate magic show that included costumes and music and dancing. The talent was overwhelming!

Matilda book club, April

One of the things we loved about Matilda, and other Roald Dahl books, is the extreme characters and their extreme names, like Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull. The girls got to make up names for their own characters and draw them. They got very creative!

The Landry News, January

We had a fun book club after reading the Landry News. The girls got to make their own newspaper, which turned out great, especially given they didn't have much time. And here are the girls being goofy.
