They will review the books through the lens of the Newbery Medal, Coretta Scott King award, and Pura Belpre award evaluators and put these stories to the test. Students will tap into their artistic and creative side creating book tastings, book reviews, book trailers, and other digital products to promote these books to other readers.

Math Agility Club - Meets Wednesday, 4:00 – 5:30 pm. For all levels. Being good at math is about more than practicing and knowing a lot of math facts. It is about seeing relationships between numbers and shapes. It is about thinking in different ways. In this club, we will play with math to develop math reasoning skills. We will use puzzles, number sequences, fractions, ratios, as well as visual and 3D spatial skills to solve problems. Both individual and group problem solving will be emphasized. Come with any level of math skills and learn to enjoy math more
Algebra Explorers Club - Meets Tuesday and Thursday 3:30 – 5:00. This club meets twice a week to explore math in different settings. We will have a variety of problems of different levels related to the theme of the week. Topics may include cooking, track and field, math at the aquarium, math in archaeology and ancient times, elementary astronomy and math in art. We will do individual puzzles that make you think in different ways and solve group problems that involve planning and communication. This club is for students who are currently taking algebra or have an interest in learning and practicing algebra skills.
Math Homework Club - Meets Thursday 7:30pm – 9 pm. Come every week or come when you have questions. We will work on individual problems related to homework. Sometimes you just need a hint to get you through a problem. Sometimes you need to review strategies that can help you become a better problem solver. We will experiment with ways to work on multiple homework problems at the same time, using chat, email messaging and group discussion.
