February 2019 Pouch Book Club
It seems like yesterday it was still 2018, but February is fast approaching along with the latest Pouch Book Club. Make sure you snag your child’s spot now before classes fill!
If I could host you all in my cozy living room for book discussion, I would. Instead, Brave Writer provides you a virtual living room space—where students gather to freely discuss the novels they read with you at home. We’ve created a secure environment where kids gather and are guided by a discussion facilitator who helps these kids take their answers deeper. Instead of talking out loud, your kids will use a keyboard and transcribe their thoughts into writing—the kind you can print and save, read again and consider.
Also a FREE digital copy of our language arts guide based on the book selection for the month is provided.

February’s selection for the Pouch Book Club (ages 11-14) is The Endless Steppe by Esther Hautzig.
In June 1942, the Rudomin family is arrested by the Russians. They are “capitalists—enemies of the people.” Forced from their home and friends in Vilna, Poland, they are herded into crowded cattle cars. Their destination: the endless steppe of Siberia. For five years, Ester and her family live in exile, weeding potato fields and working in the mines, struggling for enough food and clothing to stay alive. Only the strength of family sustains them and gives them hope for the future.—Amazon
