Mrs. Searby's 4th-grade class l was treated to a unique experience at the Book Cafe, where they indulged in a literary feast like no other! 🍽️📚
The students dined on books, which were served as different courses. 🍽️📖 They had the opportunity to sample various genres, and as they savored each book "course," they also recorded their thoughts and opinions on the genre. 📖🌍
"I'm hungry for knowledge!" I heard one student say between courses, Capturing the spirit of the Book Cafe perfectly! 🤩🍽️
