question of the week:
"In April, I am hosting a book club meeting for a bunch of 3rd grade girls. This is their first meeting, so I want to make it fun and special. Any suggestions? It's a late afternoon party. Thanks! -Dawn"

For a craft, maybe you can make bookmarks with nice cardstock/stickers/rubber stamps. If you have all the supplies ready [size of bookmark cut down], each girl can create their own personal bookmark to take home and use for future books that they read!
What is the book you are reading?
to echo christa Baca - maybe you could theme each meeting on what book you are reading...for example:
if reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, you could eat fudge and make bookmarks with a turtle stamp.
...and so on.
role playing is always fun with 3rd grade! Give each girl a shot at being a character from the book. And interview them. They have to respond as the character would. Girls love to act!

I know that these may be a bit complicated, but they're beautiful! The best of luck with your patry, I know that it'll be a success!
I'm not sure if it's already been suggested, but I always imagined having a lovely tea party as a 3rd grader. With parasols, lace gloves and all.
great ideas- thanks, everyone!
