Course Description

In Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig, Mercy’s unique way of thinking leads to surprising solutions and hilarious misunderstandings. In this 3-week STEM/Art book club, students explore the story through listening, discussion, and hands-on problem-solving projects connected directly to the book. Each week, students will listen to three chapters read aloud during class and read two to three additional chapters at home. During class discussions, learners will talk about what happens in the story, why Mercy makes certain choices, and how her thinking affects the outcome. After discussion, students will complete a STEM or art-based project that challenges them to solve a problem from the story or build something Mercy might interact with. This class supports listening comprehension, early reading stamina, critical thinking, and creativity in a fun, low-pressure environment. Projects are designed to be open-ended and accessible, allowing students to explain their thinking and make connections between the story and their creations. No advanced reading or prior STEM experience is required.
