My Project

My students have been reading The Hobbit dor the last five years. Students have enjoyed it every year and it is a great way to get students introduced to a love of science fiction. It's a great way to challenge students and to get them interested in poetry and music.

My students are wonderful.

They always rise to the occasion and rise to the challenge of a book that is traditionally a 7th and 8th grade book. Students are inventive with their understanding of the book. I have had wearable Smaugs made, a custom marionette complete with a paper fire, a full casted play with music and more.
