Course Description

Join us for a joyful, hands-on book club full of silliness, stories, and STEM! During this 3-week class, students will listen to two chapters of Mercy Watson to the Rescue together in class while they complete a themed building challenge. We pause throughout the chapters to talk about characters, predictions, problems, and big events—building early comprehension skills in a fun, low-pressure way. Each week includes a creative engineering project that matches the chapters we read: 🐷 Week 1: Toast Tower Challenge – Build a tall, stable tower of “toast” for Mercy. 🐷 Week 2: Porcine-Proof House – Design a mini house that can withstand Mercy’s wiggles and snuffles. 🐷 Week 3: Mercy Parade Float – Create a moving or decorated float to celebrate the porcine wonder! To keep the story flowing, families read the remaining chapters at home through a parent read-aloud, independent reading, or the audiobook before the next class. This creates a perfect rhythm: we read together, we build together, and we come back ready to dive deeper into Mercy’s hilarious adventures. This club is ideal for young readers who love creativity, storytelling, and hands-on fun. It combines literacy, listening, discussion, engineering, and imagination—all in one playful, engaging experience!
