@RL_Stine, your biggest fan is writing a letter to you and would love to hear back from you!!

After reading “Piecing Me Together” by Renee Watson, 8th graders learned about and created a collage on canvas.

This last quarter of the year, my 8th grade group is reading “Piecing Me Together “ by Renee Watson and creating their own version of a self identity collage. Looking forward to see their finished work

Another Monarch Nominee read aloud and students had time to create their own friend in our makerspace.

I always love sharing the Monarch nominees with my students. Today we read “Someone Builds the Dream” by Lisa Wheeler. Kiddos then built some fun designs!

Just read!
