My Project

For the last month, my students have been deep in the world of The Outsiders - a world they've deeply enjoyed. But if my 25 years of teaching has taught me anything, it's that finishing a great book can often lead to a challenge in starting something new, for fear that it just won't live up to the last book.

It's time to wow them with a great shelf refresh - new books to bring new energy to their independent reading!

There's nothing quite like a stack of new stories to bring them back to the shelves.

Ms. Young Da Vinci Arts Middle School Grades 6-8
