My Project

It's cold. It's gray, gloomy, and overcast. The snow is melting, and the memories of that magical surprise snow day are already fading. We've worn the same cozy hoodie every day for weeks. Our enthusiasm and motivation is flagging. Yet, we are only halfway through the school year...

It's time for some exciting reads that will transport us from the winter blahs!

Our class has made a list of engaging Young Adult adventure, teen romance, and graphic novels to read.

Help us escape the dreary, endless wait for spring with books that will take us away!

Ms. Daphne Werner Delaware School for the Deaf Grades 9-12
