Family Book Club

Hosting a Family Book Club is by far one of the best things I ever did as a homeschooler to build community.  Family Book Club consisted of our family and three others.  The book club evloved to meet the needs of each family from the beginning.  It was to be all ages, a specific genre each month was the only direction we gave, the kids chose their books and prepared a project to go along with the their verbal book report.  We all met at one of the families homes once a month for potluck and then the kids would share what they had read.  During book club we all had the chance to visit and make connections with eachother.  Our book club lasted for about three years, it was a great time with other homeschooling families and a chance for the kids to get kudos from friends for work well done.
