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!
