	As part of the Book Club project, students at Momot Elementary School were asked by their teacher, Dottie Broderick, to first look in the “reflection mirror” and think about the project and how it made them think about themselves and the children in a hospital waiting room. They were asked to make a face into the mirror which showed how the project made them feel on the inside. Afterwards, the students sat down at their desks and answered prompts by drawing stick figures with speech bubbles. In each bubble, the students put words into the bubbles which described them in each situation.
	During the Book Club project, students at Wetzel Road Elementary were read the story The Teddy Bear by their teacher, Carolyn Wagar, which tells the story of a boy who loses his teddy bear, finds it on a park bench, but decides to give it back to the man who had found it (because the man was so sad that it was gone). Students were then broken into three groups. Ms. Wagar had pieces of paper with sayings such as “How do you feel when…” and had various situations such as your friend invites you to sit next to them on the bus, helps you finish a hard puzzle, etc. She mixed up the sayings and students picked one each. Once they had selected a paper, students were guided to read their paper as a group and then partnered with someone with the same saying. Students then created an illustration of their saying.
