The Journey Begins!!!!

Our journey has begun!  Five little girls and three moms joined our very special club of incredible adventurous readers!   "Club Rules", brown bag games & giggles,  Promise Sheets, The Big Book Reveal and extra special secret club hug made our first meeting a success! 

Now, the fun really begins!  All you need is your book and your mom...and maybe a comfy blanket or a cup of hot chocolate.  It is time to dive in to very first book, and meet our first incredible girl in Meet Felicity. 

It isn't important how fast you read or that you do all the reading (your mom can read to you).  What is most important is that you really get to experience the story.  I imagine there will a lot of parts of the story that make you laugh or make you happy or sad.  Share together what you think and ask questions as you go!  We will post more great ideas for "actively reading" together. 

And you can come on our blog here and share your thoughts about what you are reading.  BUT, we don't want to spoil it for anyone by giving away any details about the story that someone else hasn't read yet.  So, wait until the "What do you think?" post that will come 1 week before our first book club.  In the meantime, you can come read on our blog and your mom can help you post comments that we can all read.

Now stay tuned!  Our first meeting, we talked about our (shhhh...if you are reading this aloud, be very very quiet) our secret code name.  (That is my way of whispering).  We didn't quite come up with one we absolutely, positively, truly and completely loved.  So, we are going to have a code name post here tomorrow.  I will post some fun instructions and you can post your code name ideas.  We will have a vote and choose from all the comments.

Well, this has been a LOT of words for little eyes to read and so I will close for now.  I cannot wait to starting talking about our first adventure!

Happy Reading!
