A Dinosaur-Themed Book Club Meeting

We had a "ROARING" good time at today's book club meeting! It was all about dinosaurs.... and nonfiction. The boys did nonfiction book reports to share.
 
We sorted this big bunch of dinosaur books into fiction and nonfiction works. We learned the differences between fiction and nonfiction and the features of nonfiction texts. The boys did a little hunt through some books to find examples of table of contents, glossary, index, captions, maps, graphs, etc.
 

We also played a dinosaur trivia game and learned about the meanings of some dinosaur names.


Our meeting ended with the boys inventing their own dinosaurs. We even had some fun dinosaur games and prizes.


Somehow my camera was on a weird setting and most of my pictures we're blurry.... but the other great part of today's meeting was that the girls book club made lunch for all of us ... a delicious stone soup!

We just love reading and learning with our friends!
