Pondering Pages Book Club Exploring Mystery Books

Recently the 4th and 5th grade Pondering Pages Book Club members split in to three groups with each group reading a different book that involves a mysterious element.  The books are From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, Chasing Vermeer, and Snow Treasure.  The students meet during their lunch and recess times and share their ideas about the characters, plot, and the writimg style of the author.   Students are learning how to engage in meaningful discussions and they are enjoying books with each other!
