A Reading Celebration

The recently awarded Reading Celebration Grant, awarded to Mrs. Germano, 6th Grade Language Arts teacher, will allow us to publicly praise our students' enthusiasm and love of thoughtful, reflective, and engaged reading, while our community is supporting and nurturing their beautiful passion. Her students read nearly 700 books in the first marking period and take great pride in that achievement. In the spring, students will select some of their favorite pieces of literature and tap into their creative juices to make it pop off the pages. They may write and perform a skit, poetry, prose, or opinion piece; perhaps they instead choose to compose music or develop a poster highlighting symbolic messages or themes...the options are endless and the best part is that they are being recognized for their love of learning. Students will share and support one another at this family and friends event, all because of the awesome Nancy Jubert, the PRIDE Committee, and our amazing TREA.

Table For Two!

Students created menus for their favorite book read in class so far this year, chosen from Mrs. Malland's classroom library. This activity was called "A Book Tasting," and the objective was for students to learn about new titles read by their peers for their future potential selection. They were able to view menus created by their peers from each genre table and then discuss components of their book with each other. During the activity, students "tasted" over twenty new books, giving them a chance to discover books from all different genres that interested them. When they finish their current independent reader, they can check out their new book choice from the classroom library.
