In October, District 2 is hosting its first book club to give parents/caretakers in our community an opportunity to come together with District leaders and discuss a variety of topics through books. The first book we will be reading is Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang. Qian Julie Wang is an alumni of District 2 and her book is part of the NYCDOE mosaic, 9th grade curriculum. Qian will also graciously be in attendance to talk about her book and be part of the discussion with families.
The District 2 Book Club will center topics and stories that highlight issues and experiences connected to the lives of District 2 students and families. We will draw upon young adult and high school texts that are a part of our New York City Schools curricula and survey participants for their ideas about books/topics that we should read in the future. We will select books that are available in a variety of formats and are fairly quick to read.
We want the District 2 Book Club to be accessible for busy parents and families, so it will be hosted on Zoom for 75 minutes. We hope you will join us!
