Book Bistro

This week's comment 4 kids assignment was on a class from Earlham. I looked at and commented on Becca's post to her grandparents about Book Bistro. Book Bistro is a day, usually Friday, that one student shares a book that he/she has been reading. Students bring snacks during this time, and they act as if they are at a bistro. Becca has not shared her book yet, although I know she, along with the other students.

I commented that I think a day set aside for students sharing with others about books that have read or are reading is a great idea. Book Bistro probably gets more students engaged and excited about reading, especially if they know that they will get to share and eat food too. Students need to learn about different things that their peers are learning. Students sharing different ideas and topics is one way to gain knowledge. Also, by simply sharing a book or anything else with others, allows students to start learning the concept of networking, which is simply sharing information with others. Book bistro is a great day and idea! The class website can be found at, http://mrsgstudent.blogspot.com/.
