My biggest challenge this week was keeping the kids interested. We started reading Three Cups of Tea: the young readers' edition. We took turns reading aloud, breaking to discuss various points in the book (geography, what it feels like to be lost, experiences being in the wilderness, camping, etc). One challenge is finding copies of the book. The library has a wait list for it. I hate to ask parents to buy copies. I may buy four copies and donate them to the classroom. It is an excellent story, and according to Carrie, all over the AMI reading lists. We may explore starting a Pennies for Peace effort with the class after reading the book. The kids are very good readers and seem up to the challenge.
How were your experiences?
