Hoffman School Book Discussion Groups

Each year we offer four book discussion groups for parents and children. We meet on Thursday nights from 7:00-8:00 p.m. in the Learning Resource Center. After signing up for the program, the child is given a copy of the book that will be discussed. They then take the book home to read with their parent.

We begin each meeting by discussing the book and exploring the different characters, setting, and plot. Following the discussion, children and parents enjoy doing a craft that goes along with the story. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend some special time together. Join other parents and children for lively discussion, fun activities, refreshments, and fun.

Information about the meetings is sent home with each child approximately three weeks prior to the meeting date. All books are available at the Hoffman LRC.
