"Words are our most
inexhaustible source of magic."
-J.K. Rowling
Book clubs are well underway. We’re figuring out how to divvy up tasks and set aside our self conscious worries long enough to read the text aloud. We’re helping each other and stepping back when we sense that is not what is needed. It’s not easy. But it does feel familiar and closer to normal that online school sometimes feels. Some breakout rooms buzz with off-topic chatter, some with enthusiasm, some with tension, and some with the struggle to connect. But, with the aid of technology, we are in actual groups. That alone feels like progress. Parents, you may notice a lack of grades being posted. Don’t worry, a writing assignment is on the horizon. For now it’s all about the reading. It’s such good fun to watch the plots thicken, let’s just enjoy that.
