My Project
The students of B. Middle School are a wonderful, curious, energetic, inquisitive, charming bunch of young souls who will one day change the world! Lol...In the meantime, however, they must survive middle school, which can--at times--be daunting!
By reading the funny, touching coming-of-age graphic novel, A First Time for Everything by author Dan Santat, our goal is to help our students understand that although they're in the midst of the highs and lows of adolescence, they'll surely make it!
Over the summer, help us explore how 13-year-old Dan survived middle school and...lol...lived to tell the tale!
