Page Turners: Reading & Adventure Club
We attended a 'Paint & Chill' event in Alexandria, VA. Students were challenged to think deeply about their futures. Then, they painted their dreams/visions of their futures onto canvases!
REWIND: Before the 'Paint & Chill' event, students read the novel Miracles Boys, by Jacquelyn Woodson. After reading the novel, we had a whole-group discussion on the similarities and differences between the three main characters. The three main characters were brothers, whose life experiences changed/refocused their dreams. Miracles Boys fit perfectly with the theme of the 'Paint & Chill' event. Additionally, students learned about goal setting, dreaming big, manifesting dreams to reality, achieving success, and becoming a better version of ourselves with each new day! After the session, Page Turners ate at a local brick oven pizza restaurant. As a sweet treat, Page Turners had their first Alexandria Cupcake experience to close the day!

Today, Page Turners went to Washington, DC for their first subway metro trip! What better way to learn about public transportation than to experience it first hand!? After the subway, Page Turners spent the rest of the day reading and researching information on various artists at the Smithsonian Art Museum to complete the portrait gallery scavenger hunt. Ms. Yhaps team won the scavenger hunt! After the museum trip, Page Turners took their first trip to Shake Shack to eat and celebrate their first Page Turners outing of the summer!
