Once a year we invite the boys to join us at Great Reads for Girls. Things are certainly more lively when they are around.
During our discussion of The Jacket, we talked a lot about prejudice. Phil, the main character in the book, learns a lot about himself and his own views when he assumes an African-American boy has stolen his brother's coat.
Sometimes there is a difference between what we think we believe and what we really believe. There's a test that is designed to help us understand that. It's available {here}.
We played a trivia game--the Jazz against the Flash.
The Flash won.
We had ice cream sandwiches--
and Oreos and milk.
We made some catch-the-ball-in the-cup toys.
And we talked some more.
