We were lucky enough to have a couple authors reschedule Skype calls for book club and tech club. In book club, we read Moving Target by Christina Gonzalez. We had a great conversation with Ms. Gonzalez about how book characters can become like a friend or acquaintance. Ms. Gonzalez also talked about how true historical facts inspired her book. The kids enjoyed seeing Ms. Gonzalez's dog as well. In Tech Club, we did a Kahoot game where students discussed robot myths and facts based on Jennifer Swanson's book Everything Robotics. Even though we did this game a while ago, students were excited to talk about robots with Ms. Swanson. Ms. Swanson and the students discussed how a fishing robot would work, as well as the research process for writing science books/creating expedition projects. I thought it was cool that students could figure out what a "robonaut" is - just from their knowledge of how suffixes work!
