For February's Grades 1 & 2 Book Club, we read Saving the Sun (Dragon Masters #2) by Tracey West. Benjamin, Toby, Calen, Danny, and Oliver were present.
Activity: We worked on a word search with vocabulary from the book.
Discussion
1. What causes Kepri to get sick?
2. What do we learn about Ana’s background? Where is she from? What does her father do for work?
3. Who are Heru and Wati? Why are they important?
4. How does Worm save Ana? How does Worm save the rest of the Dragon Masters?
5. Why does Drake lie to King Roland? (p. 88)
6. Do you think Kepri belongs with Ana or Wati? (p. 75)
7. Drake was the first Dragon Master to link telepathically with his dragon. In this book, Ana is able to link with Kepri. Who would you want to share a telepathic link with?

For March, we will be reading:
"Welcome to the Fabled Stables, a magical building filled with one-of-a-kind creatures. Creatures including the Gargantula, the Yawning Abyss, the Hippopotamouse . . . and Auggie. Auggie is the only human boy at the Stables, and he takes care of all the other animals. The Fabled Stables have a mind of their own, and every so often, the building SHAKES and SHUDDERS, TWITCHES and SPUTTERS--it's making room for a new arrival! It's Auggie's job to venture out and rescue a new creature from mortal danger. But will he be able to complete his mission before it's too late? With some help from Fen (a literal stick-in-the-mud) and his animal companions, Auggie saves the day and makes a new friend in the process."—Summary

We will be meeting in the Meeting Room on Wednesday, March 2, at 3:30 p.m.
For New Book Club Members
At each session, the kids vote on a book to read for the next month. Then, Ms. Colleen orders enough copies of that book through the Ocean State Libraries consortium. You pick up the book at the library (usually a week after the last book club). Books are never due before Book Club. Children should finish the book before coming to Book Club. Please reach out with any questions.
