Goal

The goal of the Harry Potter club is to foster a love of reading and creativity among 3rd grade students by engaging them in hands-on activities and crafts inspired by the Harry Potter series.

What will be done with my students

In the Harry Potter Club, 3rd grade students will engage in a variety of activities that combine the magic of the Harry Potter series with the principles of the Leader in Me program. Each session will include group readings and discussions to enhance comprehension and critical thinking, followed by creative hands-on projects such as wand-making, house banner creation, and potion bottle crafting. Students will also participate in leadership challenges inspired by the Triwizard Tournament and a fun, non-contact version of Quidditch, promoting teamwork and problem-solving skills. Special events, like a Sorting Hat ceremony and book-themed celebrations, will further immerse students in the world of Harry Potter while reinforcing leadership habits. The club will encourage reflection and personal growth through journaling, helping students connect the lessons from the stories to their own lives. 

 

Benefits to my students

The Harry Potter Club will offer numerous benefits to 3rd grade students, fostering both academic and personal growth. By immersing students in the magical world of Harry Potter, the club will cultivate a love of reading and enhance literacy skills through engaging group discussions and activities. The creative projects and themed events will spark imagination and encourage artistic expression, while also providing opportunities for students to work collaboratively and build strong peer relationships. Furthermore, the club's integration of the Leader in Me principles will help students develop essential leadership skills, such as responsibility, teamwork, and problem-solving. Through this unique blend of literature, creativity, and leadership, students will not only gain a deeper understanding of the 7 Habits but also build confidence, empathy, and a sense of community, setting the foundation for success both in and out of the classroom.
