Literature Clubs

Over the years, we've been involved with the literature clubs offered through our homeschool support group, Lighthouse Homeschoolers.  Here is a photo of one from this past year.  The mom who has volunteered to do this has such a creative way with all that she does with the children.  This photo was from the activity they did while studying The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White.

She starts with all the students sitting at a large table in the conference room of the local library.  They have their time for discussion of the book.  Of course, with children, you never know exactly where the discussion will lead.  Then, the students made different puppets for a shadow puppet show.  The boys grouped for one show, and the girls for the other show.  They had a wonderful time.  Several parents also bring healthy snacks and drinks to share during the discussion and activity.

Since our library is along a lake with swans, we all went out to feed the swans afterwards.  It was a fun day. Thanks to Heather for all she did with our students this year.
