The “Chapter Chatters,” the book club at Carson Elementary School, read the book, “The Chocolate Touch,” by Patrick Skene Catling. In February, Mrs. Kubichek’s Latin Club from Pennsauken High School joined a book club meeting, where they performed a version of the myth of King Midas. Students from the Chapter Chatters were encouraged to draw similarities between “The Chocolate Touch” and the story of King Midas. The Latin Club will continue to work with the students in the Carson School Book Club meetings by performing plays of mythology and helping to facilitate student discussion.
