The students were proud to share their work with all of our guests. A special thanks to all of the parents that offered snacks and volunteered their assistance to organize this event. Over the past months, the first grade's reading inventory has been quite impressive. It is so rewarding to see the students enjoying their reading time. Our bookworm is almost all the way to the Commons! Also, an increasing number of students are interested in offering their book recommendations at ASM. Hat's off to Adele and Finn this week. They did a wonderful job presenting their book choices for Book Buzz. The class has been working on our upcoming Bookworm project. Each student has written 3 clues for their chosen character. The audience will use these clues to help them guess which character each student is representing. In advance, I thank you for your help with their costumes. Have a great weekend.
