Welcome to our Four Corners Book Café!
By Lisa Gotelaere, Administrative Assistant, Four Corners Elementary
Once a month Molly Warring and Michelle Krob, our Librarian and Library Assistant, transform the Four Corners cafeteria into a quaint café. The Four Corners Book Café invites parents and community members to join our 3rd grade classes in discussing recently read books.
 Four Corners PTA President, Ericka Pitrago, asks third grade students about the fast-paced dogsled book titled Stone Fox |
 Mrs. Nikstad asking questions about books while enjoying hot chocolate with her students. |
 Students from Mrs. Tersteeg and Mrs. Smetak’s class discussing the book Helen Keller, “Crusader for the Blind and Deaf” and the “Copper Lady” |
 Third grade students enjoying hot chocolate while discussing the fun and exciting biography, “Who Was Annie Oakley” |
The students are assigned a book to read and are excited to share their thoughts. Discussion questions are provided to the volunteers and within the groups of 4 or 5 students, lively conversation begins! The discussions promote deeper thinking and sharing of opinions.
Reading is the backbone of education and the Book Café is a fun and rewarding way to foster the love of reading.
