If you signed your child up to participate in Junior Great Books this year, please consider volunteering to be a parent leader. Leading a group is very easy because the Junior Great Books program provides excellent Leader Guides which help parents facilitate and lead thoughtful discussions. The program will start the week of January 13th and will run through spring break. The Junior Great Books program is great way to increase students' comprehension, interpretive thinking, and oral and written language skills as well as their ability to search for meaning in stories and consider different points of view. Second and third grade groups will meet on Wednesday mornings at the lower campus from 8:40 - 9:25. Fourth and fifth grade groups will meet at the upper campus on Thursday mornings from 8:40 - 9:25. Please contact Liz Shors if you are interested in volunteering: (612) 401-7777 (cell), lizshors@gmail.com.
